The tears still fall hysterically, and I swear I completely lose it when I see the images of the planes crashing into the towers... and then hear the voices of people calling loved ones... God bless the United States of America.

I'm in favor of a good cry whenever you feel like it. I have a 9/11 folder in my favorites with links to many webpages (yours included). Sometimes it feels right to look at them and wallow in the grief, if that makes sense. That's what makes us different from the terrorists. We have genuine love and concern for our fellow man and that makes us human.

Reading your post made me realize how much I still am in shock over that image. I still look at the videos and think, "What was it like to be in the planes or the buildings?" I just can't take it in and compute it yet. The closest I get is when I think about the man who called his mother from the second tower and was on the phone with her as he looked up to see the second plane headed ... right for him. His mother heard him scream and the line went dead. But I still can't really grasp it. I don't look forward to the day when it becomes graspable for me.
