Day 255...

September 11.

I stumbled across this today. It is quite beautiful. and tragic. and I struggled over whether to share it or not, because this blog is supposed to be about things that make me happy, and though I love how all the elements of these videos come together to paint this story, I also ache re-watching the pieces of that day unfolding. however, since drawing a smiley face over the top of it doesn't erase those images from my memory...

today...I remember.

(I would caution here...these videos contain images and phone calls from 9.11.01 - it's beautifully done, but it is an emotional ride to revisit in such vivid words, sounds and visuals.)
