what to say
i don't know what to say about this day.
i never have.
but i can't not say anything.
i'm not silent because i'm apathetic or
because i'm self-absorbed.
i'm wordless because we all know
that there are no words
that could ever encompass
the magnitude of this day.
You are so right Andie. Sometimes I feel like all of the constant television coverage and news almost makes people want to turn away. I know that I can only take so much, year after year, seeing the terror and sadness. I chose to not turn on the TV today, but to remember those that lost their lives so tragically in peace.
ReplyDeleteThe day will come when G will ask questions, but until then, I personally think that it's OK to let him think that the world is ALL beautiful and loving. Oh, and to never talk to strangers without his Mommy. Ugh!!
Exactly. We explained what was going on this year to our two eldest. That was hard to explain.
