I was sleeping, having worked the night shift at the newspaper, when I got a phone call from my daughter to QUICKLY turn on the tv, that a plane had hit the WTC. My daughter, being the drama queen she can sometimes be, had panic in her voice. I flipped on the tv just when they were announcing it. All I could do was cry. I was more worried about my former sis-in-law than my own brother, because she owns a travel agency and travels VERY frequently.

I don't think anyone will forget exactly there they are and what they were doing when this tragedy struck. I know I won't.

Thanks for this wonderful thread, Joycenalax. I think it's a wonderful tribute to all those who gave their lives.

May I suggest a moment of silence for those fallen, and the families they left behind?? Let's also go and light candles.
