I imagine that everyone in the world who knows about what happened in New York on 9/11 is at least thinking about it today, even if the commemoration isn’t the big deal it was last year on the tenth anniversary.
Mrs. Warren did talk about it during History class this morning, but there wasn’t an assembly or any school-wide commemoration. It’s actually been a fairly normal, quiet day at school; and that’s probably a good thing. Our Day Two classes aren’t quite as much fun as Day One, but ending the day with Art and Computers is good, and while Rowen and I won’t be taking the art world by storm with our efforts; we do really like the drawing and painting we’ve been doing for the first module.
It’s been a work night since getting home from school; though I stopped in for a visit with Rowen’s parents first. My homework and family business work kept me busy until nearly nine, and then Mom did a lesson with me after putting Ethan and Ehlana to bed. I’ve decided to go to sleep early instead of staying up late to study; though I did my archive reading from Mom’s lesson while having a soak in my Jacuzzi. I’m in bed with Mandy now; just finished a quick email check before getting to this; and since I’ve covered what little news I have for today, I’m going to leave you with this little 9/11 commemoration, and call it a night.
The Angels Cried
I remember the day before it happened
The rain fell down, cleansing the city
Just another rainy day
As we went about our lives
If we could have this day back again
Would we have done anything different
If we had known
If only we had known
Chorus
But Heaven knew
What was going to happen
The gates were open wide
To welcome thousands
It wasn’t just
Another rainy day
For on the day before it happened
The angels cried
I remember the morning that it happened
The sky was clear, the sun so bright
Then the world came crashing down
And so many lives were lost
If we could have this day back again
Would we have done anything different
If we had known
If only we had known
Chorus
But Heaven knew
What was going to happen
The gates were open wide
To welcome thousands
It wasn’t just
Another rainy day
For on the day before it happened
The angels cried
