My visit to the 9/11 memorial

article image placeholderUploaded by @DearAuntyAng
And so, lo and behold, a month or so later, I went to visit this museum. Like most museums, to me, they're not for entertainment value. It is a way to pay homage and respect what took place there. Like, these people's lives were not in vain. And not just the people's lives, but I've come in contact with a few first responders over the years

Like the plane that was used was coming from Logan Airport, which is insane to me. I believe it was a United Airlines flight right. Leaving Logan and then it headed to the twin towers. So that was nuts. Interesting, but crazy when I found that out. But yeah, I feel like it was an eerie day. For sure. Didn't understand the severity of the situation. For sure. Definitely didn't understand. Heard about it

Hi. I love Lucy. So, yeah, the museum well, let me back up. I was able to go and the museum has been up for a while, I don't know how many years, and this is the first time that I really was like, oh, yeah, let me get some tickets and go. So maybe it took me a while as well. And I don't know

But eventually it did hit and everybody began to understand the seriousness of it. So anyway, the last thing I want to say, Auntie Anngela, lightheartedness is something that we could all use. A little bit of something lighthearted. I like to laugh. I like to joke. I'm a comedian. That's what I do. But sometimes it's just not there

Hey Mo, thanks for stopping by. I know you could probably hear my niece's dog barking because he's in the basement right under my room. Hopefully you can hear me over him. So thanks for stopping by and chiming in and thank you for earlier checking in about my mom. I did bring my son to the museum. Him, as you can see from the picture here, there were kids there younger than him, he's eleven

I don't know if her hair appointment was canceled or what have you, but that was her story for not even being in the city. The fact that people died and other people didn't, it could be difficult to reconcile that. However, I will say this, people die every day. And so the fact that if I get to go home and lay down and wake up the next day, that's a blessing because there's someone who didn't do that, and that's every day

And so the case worker needed a nurse to go out with her to the home because they were on the cusp of requesting removal of the child from the home because the parents were demonstrating the inability to provide care for the kid. And I remember going into the home, and the home was not a pleasant space to be in. It was not clean. The family looked like as if though they hadn't bathed in weeks. There was rodents crawling around. The father was unshaven

I mean, his life was turned upside down. Even now, like, 20 years later, he still can't hold down a job because he can't really walk and stand for long hours. But if you hear the news story, you hear he was photo with non life threatening injuries. But his life was threatened, right? As with the case with this family and so many others, they weren't in the towers, they weren't on the plane, but their life
