Such Loss and Grief and Pain, Words Cannot Express
The sky is falling.
A call from my mother early this morning went simply 'Turn on the news, the World Trade Center is gone.' I had to be told twice, because I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. Not to sound cliche, but I turned on the tv, and like a movie, I watched footage of the second plane slamming into the south (?) tower. I think I dropped the phone, but I'm not sure.
Of course the first thought in my head was along the lines of - omigodreishinandmaki - both of whom, I am SO thankful, are okay and accounted for. A bit later my uncle called from Washington D.C. - apparently he had been working right next to the Pentagon (we didn't even know until he called how close he was...)
This is... too terrible. It's too terrible to comprehend. All I could do was stare as they showed these planes crashing into the buildings. All I could remember thinking was 'I hope to god those planes were empty' - which, as we know now, they were not. I don't care how much anyone hates us, this is TOO terrible.
I'm calmer now that the people most important to me are accounted for, but I have this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that isn't likely to go away for a very long time.
I can only hope that we do not fall into the clutches of an all out war. I wish this had not ever happened, but it has, and now all we can do is hope and try to move on, and damn I'm starting to sound like the news broadcasters (probably from watching all day...) so now I'm going to go.
My heart goes out to everyone, the dead so tragically lost and those who live on with the burden of grief that we now all carry.
Thank you.
