Where were you 12 years ago today?

I was getting ready for work watching the news and watched the second plane hit. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.... I immediately woke up my ex-husband and my son, who was 12 at the time. I could see the fear in my son's eyes...and he asked if we were going to be okay. I kept him home from school that day. I did go into work that day and everyone was glued to a TV or radio somewhere. God Bless all of those that lost their lives in the tragic attack on the U.S. on 9/11/01. WE WILL NEVER FORGET!



I was actually lucky enough to visit NYC in May 2002 and see the WTC site. It was a big hole. It was unbelievable... they were still clearing out the rubble, nearby buildings were nothing but beams. There was a huge line waiting to tour the WTC site. There was a clothing store about block up from the WTC site that enclosed a small portion of their store that had been damaged from all of the debris and dust. It was hard to imagine what that city went through.
