The urge to verbalize our memories of that day must never be ignored - somehow, it is so very, very important that we keep doing that...the small personal details must never be lost, they are the reasons we do what we do today.

Thank God.

Someone's husband called with the news. We didn't know what else to do so we kept on working while listening to the radio. We didn't get to see the visuals until that evening when we left the house to eat.<br />Everything changed that day...rjerdeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453912819445395042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48770848156382427.post-12186831270841268022011-09-10T10:41:47.416-04:002011-09-10T10:41:47.416-04:00beautiful post. thank you for sharing.

"A plane had crashed into the World Center" came the first call. "Another plane has crashed into the World Trade Center" came the second phone call. Nothing made sense. "The planes came from Boston!" came the third phone call. <br /><br />We had no idea what was happening but we knew it wasn't right. It was evil. "Go home." "Go home!" "Just turn around and go home," I pleaded.<br /><br />It's a day that will for the rest of my life be solemnly remembered.An Urban Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08666212353075804092noreply@blogger.com
