9/11?
For me, it was waking up the next day and noticing the picture on the very back page (facing out, not inside the paper) of the St. Pete Times. It was a full page photo of bodies falling from the tower. I remember just breaking down, angry about the truth of the photo, angry that some dad somewhere was reading his paper at the table and knowing his children were looking at that picture from across the table. I know I cried the day before - sat on my couch after leaving work early like everyone else watching CNN and cried. But I wailed when I saw that picture. It was primal, somehow. I felt it all through me, as though I had not breathed for 24 hours and then I did and it all came out in one howl that seemed to last for 10 minutes.
God bless those who died, those who were left behind, those who helped and those who prayed. God bless them all.
