It's been a year,
yet it happened yesterday
It's been a year,
but the pain is still here
It's been a year,
and I still cry
It's been a year,
and it still doesn't make sense
It's been a year,
and we have such little to celebrate
It's been a year,
a year of growth
It's been a year,
a long year
It's been a year,
a year I will always remember
It's been a year,
and I still have hope

P.S. My heart goes out to all those who lost a friend or relative in the 9/11 attacks. I feel horrible, and I lost no one, so I can only imangine how you feel. God Bless

Rebecca

Rebecca...as I watched the memorial shows last evening, the full realization of all those that lost "something" and "someone" to this terrible event became overwhelming, more so than what I first felt as the tragedy unfolded a year ago.  

My parents use to tell me I would hopefully never experience the things that they went through...

Depression...

World War II...

Korean War...

so I have only experienced

assassinations...

VietNam War...

recessions...

the Gulf War...

and still...still...
I look for the good in people...
I paint the silver linings...
and I have this odd pair
of rose colored glasses
and wish people
a good life...

and believe
In God

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Rebecca, I know just how you feel, it is heartbreaking and feels like it was just yesterday and I send hugs out to all the victims and their families and children! (wipes tears) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Rebecca, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Your repetition of "It's been a year", was very effective. Yes, it's been a year---the time has passed so quickly---seems like just yesterday--- and yet, it feels like the pain has been in my heart much longer than that.

Well done, littlebear!
