I had just gotten to work when the Security Guard called and said a plane had just hit the Twin Towers. I turned on my radio and listened all day. When I got home from work I turned on the TV and was shocked. Why would anyone want to hurt so many people. This day is also my son's birthday. I kept it light and happy for him as he was only 5. In my mind the whole day was sorrow for all those people that did not know if their loved one was still alive or what had happened to them. I can remember seeing people on TV with pictures of their missing family member just hoping someone would know just anything about that person. My heart and thoughts are still with those who have lost someone in this tragedy.
