[QUOTE="Long Lashes, post: 291486, member: 41"] Those are very wise words. I was so sorry to read in the 9/11 thread that you lost your cousin on that day, that must make the anniversary extra hard for you. I didn't know anyone personally, but I've read a lot about all the innocent people caught up in that tragedy and read memories from their families and friends. Also, one of Mr L's friends used to work in the World Trade centre (near the top) he was in the US for five years before returning to the UK just one year before the attacks and he was distraught to lose so many ex-colleagues on that day. Maybe it was too raw for you to be able to watch the documentaries before? I'm not saying that your loss doesn't affect you as much it did 20 years ago as I know loss never goes away, but I'm glad for you that you were able to watch some of the programmes. I remember on the day it happened our main TV stations (we didn't have as many stations back then) took all their usual programmes off air and we had the news about the US on continuously, I and so many people just sat watching and trying to make sense of it, the whole of the UK felt such sorrow for you all. Your other cousin the Firefighter is very brave and selfless to have tried to save people. I recall watching people trying to naturally run away and get to safety, whilst the firefighters were rushing towards the danger ... what hero's they all are. Yes, that's so true. I know I'm guilty sometimes of getting into a strop or worrying about things which are not important .... until I stop and remind myself how lucky we are. Hope yesterday passed okay for you DFF :pals: [/QUOTE]
