Do You Remember? I Do

I will never, ever forget that day and its horror. I remember instant-messaging on the computer with my then-husband, who was in DC in his office. He said he could see the Pentagon burning. Then he said someone came running through the hallways shouting "Get out! Go home!"

The phones were out. The cell service was out. We had just moved into our house a couple of days before, and our cable was being installed that morning, so no TV. I couldn't get the Internet to load after that last message he sent. The radio station DJs were just rambling because nobody knew what was really going on.

He got home later that day safely, thank God. So many others did not. :cry:

My friend had a cousin living in N.Y and worked in the Twin Towers No.2. He rang his wife to say the building was shuddering and wasn't sure what was happening, he told his wife he loved her and to kiss their little girl and he would call again later. That was the last time his wife heard from him. :cry:🇦🇺🙏

What this say I? Dawns on him, I haven't the TV news on, as per usual. Quick, get it on, he orders mom, so in I dash to the den and turn it on to CNN. Well, my first thought is the pilot must have bee a dolt. It was a perfectly clear day, yet, he slams into the Port Authority building? My son was on his way to work just across the river from ground zero as it became to be known. He told me he thought the plane was going to take the roof of his car off.

I told my son to get into his office immediately as we were under attack. For all I knew, an armada was headed across the Atlantic at that point. Well, we soon found out there were others and the Pentagon was hit. Shanksville, PA caught the one headed for the Capitol, thanks to the selfless heroism of some passengers aboard that plane. A sad day indeed and we were irate over it all. Rightfully so.
