A sad day in our history.

Like everyone else today, I want to acknowledge the day that changed our lives forever.

I will never forget where I was when it happened. I was in my office working, and my receptionist (who comes into work at 9am) walked in and said she'd just heard on the radio that a small plane had hit the World Trade Center. I happened to have a little TV in my office so we turned it on, and a few minutes later watched the 2nd plane hit. We quickly realized what was happening, and never took our eyes off the TV for hours afterwards.

I ended up with everyone coming in and out of my office all day as we watched the news reports, and I was emailing my sister nonstop because they had no information at work (no radios or TV's). I remember one of my bosses, who was in the National Guard at the time, saying "This is Bin Laden's work" and I was like "Who the hell is Bin Laden?" I had never heard his name until that time.

To this day, it breaks my heart into pieces to see those planes flying into the buildings. I watched it live and couldn't believe my eyes then. I still can't.

God bless everyone who lost their lives that day, and the families who were left behind. You will never, ever be forgotten.
