My dad was aboard a plane headed for Boston. I was 6 months pregnant and enjoying my first day of being laid off from work. While attempting to sleep in for the first time in months I got a call at 7 from my best friend Jennifer. This was not uncommon for Jen because she had a 7 month old daughter at the time. Jen was especially frantic that morning. She said hurry hurry turn on your tv. I said what channel and why? She said any channel just hurry. While thumping to the television she was raving and ranting about two planes colliding. My half asleep ora immediatlet arose to alert. Why?


I needed answers. tears came so quickly and then panic. where was my dad? I called my mom and she said that he was okay. it was so strange.
