Where were you the day the towers fell? I was at home with my child care kids and my son. My stepfather called to tell me to turn the TV because an airplane just hit one of the towers. As I sat, with my mouth hanging open at the TV, I watched the second plane hit the second tower and I knew without a shadow of a doubt what just had happened.
Most of my child care parents were military at the time and I was so scared for their safety. One of my parents was at the Pentagon, but thankfully she was on the other side from the crash site.
It was a tragic and scary day. That day a lot of lives were lost due to a senseless and cowardly act.
Let's take a minute to think of all the families left behind, all the victims in those airplanes that day who must have been terrified, all the people in the towers who thought there was no other way out but to jump and the ones that stayed to meet their fate, the victims in the Pentagon, and all the first responders who have lost their lives trying to save lives, but especially the ones that are living with the affects of that day just because they were there.
We will never forget.
