an anniversary for our generation
Today, which many people know, marks the one year anniversary for 09-11. For the critics who say that anniversaries are really nothing more than an invention of man, you're right. Nevertheless, it is hard to imagine that exactly one year ago this morning I came into my Spanish class late, nearly in tears because I had watched the events of the day unfold on the news. The freshman that served as the bearer of bad news on that fateful day has grown (or so I would hope) and now a sophomore has taken his place. So in looking back, that day seems further than ever. Yet I remember it like it was yesterday.
My heart goes out to all those affected by the events. And to those who are just as dumbfounded today as they were exactly one year ago, like me.
