Being on the West Coast it was very early for us. I was getting ready for work and had my stereo on as I always did. They were reporting it so I turned on the TV to see what was going on. I didn't tune in until after the second tower was hit. My mom was watching when the second plane hit.
I worked at a day care at the time. We had to discuss how to handle everything with the children. I worked in the baby room so it wasn't as bad for me. Although, my co-teacher was from Afghanastan and we didn't get along so well to begin with. But she was very remorseful of what had happened. I think she didn't really know how to act either, but she was also sad.
It doesn't even matter that it has been 10 years since this happened.....every time I see the footage of the towers being hit and collapsing I get tears in my eyes. We recorded a show that interviewed people that got out of the building and what they went through. I just can't imagine it.
Every single person affected by this tragedy is in my thoughts today.....and every day.
