It didn't hit me that I had my own story, or that the story was relevant. It was, in fact, only on my drive back from a girlfriend's house to my own tonight that I wondered why I didn't feel my story was important in this. I think you've hit the nail on the head with your entry. Truly. <br /><br />I was flying this morning, which was a little anxiety-inspiring although I knew there was little likelihood of attack today. Many of my fellow passengers' TV screens were covered with images from 9/1/11, which made me mourn each of those lives all the more as I reflected on their moments in the planes . . . and outside of the planes in the hit buildings.<br /><br />I wasn't there. I wasn't close to there. But my heart was there, and I remember telling my mom, who urged me to move back to Eugene, "I'd rather die in Los Angeles than live in Eugene." Fierce words, those, but I hope I keep living by their core.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06036505968642985025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387304430116981620.post-35694049392193411692011-09-11T18:36:32.088-04:002011-09-11T18:36:32.088-04:00united we stand!
