Yep. Was I stunned into near catatonia as I watched it all play out? Yep. Did I fly a flag for months after? Yep.<br /><br />Do I spend EVERY WAKING MOMENT memorializing it? NO. It is time to move on. Not forget, but not continue to dwell on it. <br /><br />9/11 has become the nation's horrible scab from where the bully knocked us down. We keep picking at it and picking at it, and it never heals- just like Mom said it wouldn't. <br /><br />We need to let it be, to put medicine on it and let it heal. It will probably leave a scar, but that's ok. Scars show character, right? At least that's what my mom told me...Aileen Dingusnoreply@blogger.com
