The day it happened, I was getting ready for a job interview. I was getting dressed that morning and watching the news. They were reporting about the first tower being hit. I saw the 2nd tower being hit live like everyone else. I didn't hear about the Pentagon till I was on my way home. When I got home, I called my best friend and we watched everything unfoled together.
The thing that stuck out in my mind was a story I say about how a mom had taken her 2 children down to the wall of pictures of people's loved ones. I could not imagine what she could have said that would have comforted her children. The other thing that stuck out in my mind were the children who had a loving parent or 2 drop them off at school that morning and by the end of the day were orphans. I don't know what I would do if something happened like that to me. Since that day, I have thanked God because my mom and grandma had just got finished visiting me about 2 days prior.
Now a days, everytime I see a plane in the sky, I have to stop what I'm doing an watch it till it goes out of sight.
