Where were you?

Today is the anniversary of 9/11, the WTC attacks. I felt that it was appropriate to take a moment today and just reflect on that day. Where were you that day? What were you feeling?

I was at home, and actually sleeping when the whole thing started. With a 3 yr old and a 1 yr old at home still sleeping I went back to bed that morning after getting my Kindergardner off to school. My DH called to tell me to turn on the TV. I remember suddenly being very afraid for my family. I had to call my brother and sister and make sure they knew what was going on. I called my parents, they were in Vegas and scheduled to come home in the next day or so. I remember watching the drama unfold, and my horror when the first tower fell........I knew there were still people in there. I sat at my TV and cried. I ended up going and getting my daughter from school early. It just seemed appropriate that I keep my children close and safe with me that day.

And so, that's where I was 7 years ago today. Where were you?
