September 11th Reprised

“It’s just a day for me now,” said my ex roommate, the one who lived with me on 9/11/2001.

I was taken back by her response to my text to her saying I couldn’t believe twelve years had passed already.

Granted, this year I didn’t turn on the TV in the morning to watch the names being read (do they still do that?), but September 11th could never be “just a day for me.” Particularly as we hear about the turmoil in the Middle East on a daily basis.

Last year I wrote about visiting the memorial, and on the tenth anniversary I wrote a post sharing my first hand account of the day. If you haven’t read those posts I do hope you take a minute to do so.

I apologize for my absence from I HAVE CAT as of late. I’ve been dealing with some personal struggles and hope to someday soon return to being a more dependable blogger.

I leave you with this poignant tribute. A commercial created by Budweiser that only ran once (they say because the company did not want to receive financial benefit from the tragedy).
