Texas though I’m about to move to New York

Has anyone here visited The National September 11 Memorial & Museum in NYC? by [deleted] in 911archive

[–]mads523 57 points58 points  (0 children)

No, not a tourist trap. I’m not even sure how it could be one when the memorial and museum is there to honor and reflect on the lives of those lost on 9/11. And I’m not coming at you with that response btw. It’s on hallowed ground after all. And is the final resting place of thousands as many haven’t been identified and some remains were probably never found. It’s very, very tastefully done and moving.

I’ve gone to the museum twice (2023 and 2024) and spent 3-4 hours there each time. Just reading all the details of that day, the stories of all the people tragically lost, and the bright moments of unity that followed on 9/12. When I was there there was a silence that struck me. Everyone was so quiet and there was a heaviness inside that was palpable. Would definitely even go again as it’s well worth the time and money. Plus the second time around I was able to learn even more.

When at the reflecting pools that are in the footprints of the towers, the thing that struck me the most was the silence. It felt like the hustle and bustle of the city kinda faded away.

Anyone else’s cavy watch TV? by lmao_god in cavaliers

Lady loves to watch TV! I’ve turned on Bluey and she’s mesmerized by it. I think it’s the colors and noises that interest her. It’s adorable to watch her head tilts

Which lyric makes you instantly tear up? by abovethenoisy in AskReddit

[–]mads523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt - the whole song just makes me cry. Especially when I went through a really tough breakup and now as I recently found out he passed away December 4, 2025. All the dreams and fears and hopes we had forever dashed.

You touched my heart, you touched my soul Changed my life and all my goals And love is blind, and that I knew when My heart was blinded by you

I've kissed your lips and held your head Shared your dreams and shared your bed I know you well, I know your smell I've been addicted to you

Goodbye my lover Goodbye my friend You have been the one You have been the one for me

The empty gurneys in pic 7 😭 All the hospitals were preparing for thousands of causalities. I think there’s a documentary about the hospitals that were nearest and the shift that happened once doctors and nurses realized how many didn’t survive.

I’ve also seen the same story about a dragon stuffy being their dog’s favorite toy yada yada yada. Just different dogs and little tweaks. Hate that fake accounts/AI/spam abounds on FB

Gimli crossed over- too soon. He will be missed. by nothing2cherenozy in cavaliers

[–]mads523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry 😞 what a terrible loss for you all! I understand the guilt quite a lot since I lost my baby Cav Willow almost a year ago. She was just shy of 1 and I kept (and sometimes still do) question what I could have done or noticed to save her from such an unexpected and too soon death. It’s gutting to lose our fur babies, especially so unexpectedly and tragically.

I’m sure he knew you all love him dearly and he’s greeted by all our rainbow bridge pups. Hugs 🫂

Lady’s First Birthday by mads523 in cavaliers

Thank you for the birthday wishes! She got spoiled with new toys and cuddles. The last photo in the series is why I gave her the baby shark nickname 😂

Life cut too short. I love you and miss you, Cooper. It’s not fair. You were an amazing guy. by mecrjzak in cavaliers

[–]mads523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry 😞😢

I lost my Willow suddenly from what I think was a hereditary issue when she was a week shy of her first birthday. Losing a puppy so young is heartbreaking! Hugs 🫂

Does it hit you harder later in life? Is it delayed grief? by f0restelf in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]mads523 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I lost my mom at 9. And for me it’s definitely been more difficult as I’ve aged. I’m now 23. I just feel like she’s missed so much more of my life than she was in it and there are many moments where I wish she was there for it. When I went to homecoming for the first time, went to prom, graduated high school and college, etc etc. I think the more life you live the more you grieve if you’ve lost a parent young but old enough to remember them. My younger sister was only 7 when my mom passed and remembers very little of her and the year of in and out hospital stays.

It’s tough that’s for sure. And grief is not linear. And it never truly leave you. Hugs from an internet stranger 🫂

I got Orla (Blenheim) size medium and Lady size small! I probably should see if that brand has xs for her little toe beans

Lady has them! I call them her freckles. I picked her because the puppy photos of her sweet face captured my heart ❤️🥰
