I hadn't had the television on yet that morning and a girl friend called to tell me to turn it on. She was concerned for my youngest son who is in the Air Force. He called later to say hi and I love you mom and I won't be able to call back for a few days as we are going into a lock down on all the bases. I cried the rest of the day thinking of all those innocent people who were lost to their loved ones and hoping God gave them the strength to capture their memories and continue on with their lives. That night I went to a church service in our town. It was wonderful to have the support of friends and family.
