The wake of 9/11

Sad isn't it? No pun, no sarcasm. How time and tide really waits for no man. 10 years just like that. And it still feels like yesterday for some.

Was listening in to Nick Cannon's program on 913 and they had this segment on remembering those who passed. Beyonce showed her support by remaking a song about being proud about being American. Patriotism at its best. A pity, it took a tragedy, so large a scale to pull the country together.

And there was this recording dedication from a little girl, starting from a year after Sept 9 2001 missing her daddy and having his favorite meal yesterday and even finishing the carrots even though she didn't like them and her mommy told her, "Daddy's safe now.", then a five year gap where she was in middle school and she hopes her daddy can see from from the field where she plays soccer and that her mommy lets her wear his shirt to bed and the shirt still smells like him, and then a ten year, where she still hopes her daddy sees her from where he is while asking whether going into medical school to be a doctor will be the right choice and knows he will be there to walk her down the aisle.

How can you, in fact anyone, not... cry? And they were playing this melancholy music in the background.
