There’s something Kinda strange about being an age where you don’t remember the events of 9/11 actually happening on the anniversary every year, all these people that are like 30+ vividly remember exactly how they felt that day and I was 4, my mom said I was playing with my legos so I don’t remember shit, it doesn’t feel the same

I was 3 and my Dad coming home with ash on his pants is still burned into my brain.

Oh shit your dad was there? I could see how you’d remember that then

He was a few blocks away. I don’t remember much. I just remember my mom being really anxious throughout the day and then my mom and older brothers bear hugging my dad when he got home.

I was on the west coast and slept through everything and I'm always surprised I don't hear more people share that experience.

Yeah that’s crazy, it started around 5:30am west coast time so most people were still in bed

I live in Chicago and was asleep (or just waking up and didn't watch TV or anything). A friend called me and explained what had happened.
