I am a mercenary soul. (well, my family works in flea marketing and in selling first edition books, ect, so it's built into me.)
when I saw my DMILs kitchen for the first time, with shelves upon shelves of turqouise and spice colored corningware, my first thought was, 'my stepmother would have an orgasm in here' (her booth specializes in antique glass and kitchen ware)
When I picked up a glass that had been in my kitchen for years and years - a molded mcdonalds collectable glass mug for the batman series - and relized that the twin towers was molded into the design, my first thought was 'Dad, come look at this'. It isn't on the kitchen shelf anymore.
Sorry to be so mercenary.
But, if you wanna cry about 9/11, i have a great recomendation. I have a CD a had a young friend make me, of country songs about this war. The only non-country song on it is there by my special request. It is a folk song called The Bravest. My Marine son will not let me play it when he is around, because it makes him cry. (it is specifically about the twin towers, and the NYFD)
a sample of lyrics from the song:
They must have seen it coming, as they turned to face the fire
They sent us down to safety, and they kept on climbing higher.
Now everytime I try to sleep, I'm haunted by the sound
of fireman pounding up the stairs
that we were running down.
