As I was ready to get up from my bed today, I realized that so many things are happening on this particular date. I mean, the first thing that came to my mind was that it was the 6th anniversary of the World Trade Center attack on New York, which even after all these years it´s so hard to see again. My stomache still crunches up a bit as I saw yesterday the clips from the planes impacting the two towers and when they fell down. I can´t help myself thinking that I just wish this was just a nightmare, but it´s not.
In Chile, where I live, it´s also the day when the government troops took over La Moneda on 1973, and may I say that people here are still using this day to put up barricades and start up bonfires and damaging public goods, people and policemen always on the lookout for a rock or something that might injure up somebody...it´s just crazy!!!
And on a personal note, it´s also my grandma´s Bili death anniversary and Ximena, one of my mom´s friends. So you see, it´s just one of these days that keep you so busy... I´m hoping that they are both watching over us, their family, their friends rooting each day for every victory and supporting us through every failure, all the way through.
And last, but not least, and this one I think it´s the better one (so to speak, because every one of the things I´ve mentioned have changed my life in some way or another), it`s Pepe´s birthday, one of my dad´s brothers.
Too many things to remember on such a day...Can anyone else think of something similar, anywhere?
See you until the next post
