that day, that awful day

[lbaker]

I remember looking out my office window seeing the smoke from the Pentagon rising into the sky. Washington DC was evacuated and the long, quiet walk home began. People kept turning around as we left the city to look back over our shoulders. It was almost as if we expected to see some horrid creature following us. Something horrid did follow everyone that day and still comes back to haunt

I called in sick with a cold that morning and I was just laying on the couch,
bundled up with a comforter watching TV.Then they broke in with this horrible
news & film footage of the smoke & horror of what was happening. I could not
believe my eyes at what was going on. Then the second tower building was
hit. I immediately wanted to call family & friends to see where they all
were. It was so scary. I'll never forget.
