As much as I don’t like celebrating the terrorist attacks with a Patriots Day, attending the tributes made me realize that I still had some open wounds. I feel like I broke my arm last September, and it never really healed right. The ways in which I dealt with the situation were a quick fix. Yesterday, I broke my arm again, to try to reset it so that it might finally heal properly. Watching Dave’s tribute gave me chills. I didn’t know it affected me that much. Seeing the plane fly into the WTC is still a chilling sight. Hug someone that is special to you. Life is too precious to let it go to waste in an instant.
