Where were you?

Seven years have gone buy in a flash.  It seems unreal that the attacks on America happened 7 years ago.  I remember John waking me up at some ungodly time of the morning to tell me that a plane crashed into the World Trade Center.  In my half daze and disbelief  that it could be anything but an accident I said, "What an idiot!".  Obviously implying some 1/2 brained man flying into the building.  It was a minute later when he came back in our room and said, "Bub, another one crashed".  I sprang out of bed to the TV.  In the back of my mind I new it was intentional and probably a terrorist but it was still hard to believe.  I was waiting for the "coming soon to theatres" logo, as this had to be just a giant marketing trick for the next blockbuster film.  As more and more footage was being shown, I too was numb like the rest of America watching the disbelief of the moment.  It was a Moms Club Park day.  I walked S (2 1/2) and M.(2 months) to Koch Park with a sony walkman radio.  I remember there were only 3 of us there that day.  Maybe it was Kim or Fida but I remember Brenda specifically.  I didn't know her real well at that point and she was very stressed and nervous about her husband working on a consult job in the DC area.  She heard from him that morning and he was okay , for the moment. The whole day was in slow motion and life seemed to be at a stand still.  There is not much else I remember about that day specifically.  With a new born all days seem to be blended into one.  I can recall days, weeks and months following where all Americans united in sorrow and pride for our Nation.  So today I'd like to ask each of you to post your message of where were you on 9/11?  Also, I've uploaded a picture from our local high school and their tribute to those who died that day.
