We will never forget...
By FAR the day that stands out to most of us in history is 9/11/01. Today, eleven years later, we will never forget... where we were that day... what we were doing when we heard...
Mom and Dad had just returned from a cruise to Alaska. Dad's brother and a friend were here because they took care of us while Mom and Dad were away. The TV was on and someone said a plane crashed into the World Trade Center. Mom immediately called Auntie El who still lived in New Jersey to tell her. Together they all watched the second plane crash into the second tower. For days after that, Mom says she just remembers silence and numbness. Everyone seemed to whisper, everyone was polite... it was strange. No airplanes in the sky. Constant reminders that life would never be the same again... Even though life eventually got back to normal, even though it was a new normal, America had been changed. We will never forget.
Where were you when you heard?
Where were you when you heard?
Our prayers are with the families who lost loved ones in the Towers, at the Pentagon and in the field in Pennsylvania.
