Where were you when you found out about the attack on the World Trade Center?



I was at home having my morning cup of coffee. My mother in law called and asked about her son. Why was she calling me at 6 in the morning asking about my hubby? She told me about the attack. I could not comprehend what she was saying. She told me to turn on the television.

I thought it was some kind of story a la War of the Worlds.

Until I saw the second plane hit.

My babies had just celebrated their second birthday the day before. This could not be happening.

I had to turn the television off when they got up. I couldn't have them watching this stuff, even though I wanted to watch all day. I was transfixed.

I tried reaching hubby, but as per usual he had his phone off.

Thankfully, he heard the news and came home before going to the City.
