Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was early morning and I was about to leave to San Francisco to my Dr appt. Then there was my 15 yr old son who had left school to come clear across town on the bus to warn me about "9/11". I had been on the computer and he could not reach me and he wanted to stop me from going to S.F. because he was afraid for me. I did explain to him I would be okay. Once I got to San Franciso, it just looked like a ghost town, nothing I had ever witnessed before. I was walking up a main street where the Cable Cars run all day. I will never forget the stores all shut down on what would normally be a busy weekday in the big City. Then I began to see young people coming out of places like St. Francis Hotel by Union Square. They were crying so badly. I just felt so many there and elsewhere were crying because perhaps they had family they were waiting for that could have been on one of those planes. I do know some of these people did not look like they were crying so hard because of anything else. It was just sad, there was an overall feeling of despair, lonliness, doubt, and sadness just permeated the air in that big city. That day it truly looked like a different place, one I've not seen before. It was most evident that a catastrophic event had indeed taken place just minutes earlier. An errie day in San Francisco that I will never forget. I sit here in my home with my son and listen to the day on television being devoted to '9/11' and it all comes right back to me, just as if it had happened yesterday. Truly a sad day for America. My heart will forever go out to those who died and those who lost someone and a most special place for the firefighters of NEW YORK. There is something almost magical about them all.
