I was up at about 6:45 a.m. letting my dogs out to do their business. While I was waiting on them I layed on my couch with the television on and fell asleep. I was having an odd dream that I was on a talk show like Jerry Springer with one of my old bosses. I remeber I wasn't paying much attention to the host of the show and was playing with the shoe strings on my shoe. The host of the show was saying "Why would anyone want to attack the World Trade Center" I heard my dog bark at the door so I woke up to let them in. As I was walking to the door I was remembering my dream and thinking how strange it was. I let the dogs in, turned around to walk back to the couch and heard the reporter on t.v. say "It's been confirmed that it was a plane that hit the WTC" I sat down and started watching. To my horror, within seconds of focusing on the television the second plane hit while I was watching live! I immediately called my husband at work but he was not there. I told his employees to turn on a radio or t.v. to know what was going on. I then called my Mom in Louisiana to see if she was seeing the same thing I was. Of course she was and the whole reality of the situation hit me and I became sick to my stomach. I spent the entire day in front of the television with my dogs next to me on the couch, calling friends and loved ones. When my husband finally got home I hugged him and we both cried. That was a day I will never forget and no American should. We should all live life like there's no tomorrow and cherish every day we have together. God Bless America!!!!!
