I remember...
I remember my activities on September 11, 2001 very well. Ironic, sense I can't recall what I did this past weekend. As with any other day, I'd woke up and prepared to go to work. But, for some reason I was going in a lot later. While getting dressed I watched the Today Show (just as I still do today). Normal programming was interrupted as Katie (Couric) announced "that a small plane had just hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center." What a horrible accident, I first thought. Then reality quickly came as a second plane struck the South Tower. My then-husband jumped up and down and rejoiced exclaiming "them boys done come over here to handle they business." (He's as evil now as he was then and I'll say no more about him).
I then left for work, but of course no work was completed on that day. I, like the rest of my colleagues, stayed glued to the TV watching with horror the day's events.
For the next weeks, I was terrified. Thinking of all those people, who'd did just what I did that very day and every day; they woke up and went to work. Yet they didn't return home.
Today (and everyday), my thoughts and prayers are with all those who lost someone they knew and loved. May your blessings be greater than your sacrifice.
