Hubby and I were watching the morning news and saw it all...as it happened. I remember the first pictures I saw of the first plane made it look like a small plane had crashed. We thought it was an accident. When the second one came we knew life as we knew it was over. We watched in horror as the events unfolded. I cried all day...I cried for weeks for all the lives lost....for the destruction and for the survivor's loved ones. I cried this morning for the same reasons (I cry when I see ASPCA commercials). I remember calling our daughter in Hawaii and waking them up so early in the morning so she could watch. In the aftermath, I was disgusted at the conspiracy theories and the hatred it all gave birth to. This is a day for reflection, for giving thanks for our blessings and to pay respect to those who perished....needlessly.
