Today is 24 years since 9/11. 24 fucking years. No one I saw today even mentioned it. Nothing against them, I didn’t mention it either. Over the many years, this day has just quietly burrowed unnoticed into the back of our minds, as beyond horrific things tend to do.
I purposely avoided the coverage today, until now. I got home from being out and felt like I should check in – remember. So I put the tv on.
Not going to spend the rest of the night re-watching all the footage I’ve seen a million times before, but I thought a check-in, a “hey, I remember” moment is, well, the least that can be done.
So here’s to remembering those that died on that fateful day, those who died later as a result of that day, and the loved ones of them all.
Don’t forget to not forget.
