I surely remember it. I was at my desk at work, someone came in and said a plane had hit the towers and then we gathered around the tv just in time to see the second plane hit and I was sooooo scared. My son was flying supposedly into JFK at 9:10 am that morning, which is so close to when the towers were hit, and I can not explain the feeling I had. My husband works at the same place my son does. I called him and couldnt hardly talk to see if he had heard from Bobby and he said no, and he is a very strong guy yet I could hear the fear in his voice. Then he said no, But Bobbys secretary had changed his plane ticket to land in Virginia. Well, that was still soooo close and I and he were both scared to peices. It was still a few hours before Bob got where he could call and let us know he was ok. I was fit to be tied that day. We already lost our daughter to heart disease and he is our only child now and I knew if anything happened to him and (still feel) that they would have to bury me along with him if anything happens to him. Our kids have always been first and foremost in our lives like most everyones is. So I'll never forget that day and all the people that lost their lives or a family member or just a friend. It was a horrible horrible day even if you didnt know anyone any place near it. I cried for I couldnt tell you how many days after that. Everytime anything was shown on tv about it. I'm so glad we didnt have tvs in our own offices at work. I would of never gotten anything done. For the people that lost their family members in it, I'm soooo sorry and for those that helped save people, i'm soooo thankful and for being an American and to know it was that bad and thinking we are starting to have the war in the USA , just makes you have to think how horrible it would be for it to have been or ever be a full scale war here. To all our military, police, firemen and people who work every day to defend us and our country I am thankful God let me be born an American. But I can still close my eyes right to this day and see that in my mind. I have a flag that flys in front of our house everyday. I had 3 brothers in the Air Force and I understand the price we have to pay for our freedom. Its sad but it is reality. Anyone that wasn't touched by this one thing is someone that is out of touch with reality. I just pray it never happens again and Thank God for The USA. |
