Happily Ever After
I hate this date. This date, for the last 10 years, has been one of sorrow, saddness and fear. This date is one where I can’t watch the telly, turn quickly from news channels, flip past pages in the newspaper and live in a place where thousands of people didn’t die from one horrible moment in time. Yesterday I made the mistake of watching a 5 minute news brief showing some of the memorial celebrations going on in the US. I cried. Silent tears. Felt my heart constrict as it always does. And then it was done, thank God.
I have a happily ever after though. I have moved on from September 11, 2001 to have an amazingly gorgeous family, a wonderful life in England and a fulfilling career through blogging and freelance writing. My life is pretty darn good. And today I am going to celebrate that family by focusing on them and the happy life we have together. I’m staying off Twitter, avoiding news broadcasts and going to our neighbourhood fair later today. 10 years later for me and I’m definitely happily ever after. And while we’re at it…God bless the USA today especially.
