Remembering Sept. 11

[Karen]

My thoughts are with everyone who lost loved ones that day, which includes our own beloved Sandra tatsxxx11 and the man who owned the florist business below where I used to work.

Yes it's a sad day to remember, especially for people who lost family or friends. I remember I was at home, and my mom called me from work to let me know. The strangest thing is that I saw a dog get hit right outside our house that day, and it just felt as if the whole world was turned upside down.

On a day like this, and with all the reports on tv, the memories come back, even though they were never really gone... Can't believe that it's already five years ago, all these memories are still so alive. I guess this is one of the days I will never foget as long as I live, the shock, and the disbelief, and thinking about it still brings tears to my eyes...

I remember it like it was yesterday. I had called in a sick day at work
early that morning as I had a bad cold & felt lousy. I was laying down on the
sofa watching morning TV when they interrupted to make the news announcement. I quickly changed the channel because I couldn't believe
it was happening. All channels carried news coverage of the planes hitting
the towers.I just sat there in disbelief & it took hours to really sink in.Such
a sad day in history.I didn't personally know anyone that was inside the
buildings but my children both knew friends who they had to check on.

I can remember that Day, as though it happened , yesterday!!!


I was making a Gift for a friend, had all the stuff out on the dining room table,~~~~~ Wow, I turned off the TV 15 minutes before the first plane struck the North Tower.

My phone rang at 8:50 A.M., of course, it was my MOTHER!!!!!

Sooo, I turned the Televison back on, and, you all know what happened after that!!!!!

I was too little to actually realize what had really happened that awful day, and I couldn't realize that it was making history and I really didn't know what happened. All of those amazing souls, lost underneath the rubble, ashes and smoke that were scattered all over the area. Can you imagine just walking down the street, thinking it was a regular work day, and then hearing a loud crash, looking up and seeing a Twin Tower falling down right before your eyes?! I can't even imagine what horror and confusion raced through so many people's minds. May all of those amazing souls forever live on in all of our hearts, and may they forever Rest In Peace!!!

I was home recovering from one of my cancer surgeries and had my first post-op medical appointment that day. I will never forget that day.
