Six Years

There is so much to say about today, and so many ways for me to screw it up or not get it right... I've decided to leave it to the better bloggers today. I do remember where I was when I heard the news -- economics class, senior year of high school, third period. The principal announced it on the PA and ended the school day at noon. I spent my lunch hour in the library, watching the news with other students. Many were waiting in line at the office, the library, the teachers' lounge, anywhere there was a phone, to try to call family members who may have been affected. There were several who died.
This month I go to my 5 year class reunion. Before we begin drinking (it was a Catholic school, after all), I imagine we will have a moment of prayer and sharing of stories. We spent that day together. We will remember it together.
