9/11 remains fresh in my mind on a personal level. As that mid-morning began to unravel I remember contacting my loved ones – my sons (through email and phone calls), then my sister, my father, and my friends. Everyone in my immediate world was safe and sound.
I watched smoke billowing from the Twin Towers on MSNBC, at that time on a very slow connection on my desk PC at work. I could still see disaster progressing. Nothing short of horror.
As I walked to my boss’s office, an employee asked if I was okay. My words, “Yes, but our world will never be the same again.” As the doors to that office closed, 5 of us prayed. It was a sad day. I left and headed out to what was eerily empty interstates and roads – wanting to get my feet back on home ground, stay in touch with my family.
I completed a Google search a few days ago on 9/11 to refresh my own knowledge, beyond memory. Reading was painful. My throat tightened, my heart hurt. There is still a lot of doubt in the minds of American people as a whole. I have empathy. There are a lot of un-answered questions. Our lives did change 10 years ago.
God bless America. God bless those that lost their lives, and those that were injured. God bless their families and friends.
Thank you to those that worked tirelessly through the minutes, hours, days, weeks, and months that followed 9/11.
We will never forget.

God bless America! My brother and ex-sister-in-law was married on 9/11/99 I think it was.

Such a sad, sad day!
I worked just across the NC/SC state line. With Charlotte, NC being the second largest banking hub in the US, we were worried it may be next since it was also on the east coast. They did clear downtown Charlotte, just in case.
I just don’t understand the terrorist way of thinking. I don’t want to either.
And I agree with you and goatpod2….”God bless America”!!!
We each have our own 9/11 story. And I feel many of us still have a need to express what happened (in our own lives) that day. And then there is the great need to remember those that lost their lives. And cheer for those that survived. And honor those that worked so tirelessly afterwards. Becky, I sat this morning and read the chain of events from each flight, each tragedy. So very sad. I am glad we all can move forward, and pray that we grow as people, as a nation! There is a lot of rebuilding to do!
