That was my first thought. I was on the Watterson going to Cane Run Elememtary dropping off my little 5th grader. As I drove around the airport I got the call. Plane hit the WTC. I envisioned a small plane and continued listening to WFPK. By the time I got back home I was getting more calls and rushed in the house... oh no, where are my three other kids? This is not good. There is still a plane in the air. Where are my brothers? Then the silence. To live so close to the airport and hear silence was scary. The sky is so blue and clear. The day, the date, Oh My God! I called upon my faith, I resisted going to get my kids and told myself "I'm not letting the terrorists win." <br />And Nat, it seems alot of people married and made choices that they may not have made because of this horrible time. I have so many people who have told me this. <br />My childhood was filled with Vietnam and I wanted Peace for my children. I tried to teach tolarence and understanding and love for the world. My children had been lucky enough to travel and see things their old momma will never see, but yes. Things are a little different now.KJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089346341490653231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7458034483254499155.post-65647937502939183962011-09-11T14:30:15.830-04:002011-09-11T14:30:15.830-04:00Your post was so well written by the way.

Living in Jeffersonville at the time and...I was...<br /><br />Living in Jeffersonville at the time and scheduled to go to work (in Louisville) that afternoon. <br /> <br />Watching North tower on fire and thinking it was some freak accident. (All About Naive)<br /><br />Seeing the second plane hit the South Tower and realizing it was an attack.<br /><br />Making my husband go pick up our boys from daycare so they would be home with us because of the uncertainty.<br /><br />Seeing the Pentagon on fire and worried about what else may happen.<br /><br />Seeing the first tower (South tower) crumble and my heart leapt into my throat. Hoping that many people were able to evacuate before it collapsed since it was the second tower hit and were evacuating before the crash.<br /><br />Seeing the second tower (North tower) crumble and knowing that for the last hour I was actually watching people being murdered. Just because I couldn't see the faces didn't make it any better.<br /><br />Hearing about a third plane that was hijacked.<br /><br />Hearing that that plane crashed in Pennsylvania and thinking "What else is going to happen?!!"<br /><br />Watching the rescue and recovery and being awed at the tireless effort that was put forth while I could just sit there and stare and feel powerless.<br /><br />Realizing my life and my children's lives would never be the same.Tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10470335666994594494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7458034483254499155.post-38270220334180631832011-09-11T14:20:35.050-04:002011-09-11T14:20:35.050-04:00I loved this.

We need to remember, be thankful and stay patriotic but that doesn't mean our lives stop and we live in fear.<br /><br />E2 and I are heading up the canyon to enjoy Oktoberfest today and be thankful that we can.Vapid Vixenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08699876620805731017noreply@blogger.com
