Sept 11th

Where were you on Sept 11?


There are some pivotal days  in  your Life you remember When the man landed on the moon is one and Sept 11 to me is another.

I was still sleeping and my husband came into the bedroom and said a plane has hit the world trade building. I jumped up and as he went to work I felt this enormous feeling of sadness as I watched on T.V the events unfolded. As the second tower fell the unbelief that this was happening and all the brave rescue personnel going up to those tall building was heart breaking. I distinctly remember my daughter calling me in shock at what was happening. I remember telling her “Were going to War” My father had worked for the military during the Vietnam war repairing planes and traveling to bases in Vietnam.I guess that's why that was my first thought. I felt such sadness when I said it to her and knew there were going to be more losses of Life. The shock across America and the world at this horrible event was a time capsule of pain that is still with America. Today my prayers go out to the families and rescue personal who risked their lives and all the soldiers who are in harms way as we speak.
