10 years

It's hard to believe it's been 10 years since the events that occurred on 9/11/01. I doubt I'll ever forget that day, like anyone else old enough to remember it. That day, I woke up at the exact time the first tower was hit. I didn't know it at the time of course, but I remembered the time & thinking it was odd I woke up before I needed to since I didn't have class until later that morning. I turned on the tv as I got ready, and it was of course all over the news. I watched as an amature camera recorded the 2nd tower being struck and as both towers fell. It was unbelievable. My cousin had spent the night before, but she had already left that morning, so I called her on my way to school to see if she had heard. Of course she had. I think everyone I came in contact with that day was rather unnerved. My classes pretty much canceled for the day. Many people stayed around & talked through the events. My cousin & I met for lunch that day. When I got home, it continued to be the story...for the next few weeks in fact. I remember going to Joe Muggs & finding a special edition of the New York Times that day. I still have the paper. Just as another reminder. David & I talked about how we will share this with Madelyn when she's older. I honestly don't know. Most of my elementary aged kids were not even born yet...those who were born were at least under 2. I'm sure it is an event that our generation will never forget. Where were you that day?
