911DA Story: Story

I had just woken up and turned on the TV, I was those pictures, the fire, the smoke, the hole in the frist tower.
I remember think "oh my God" and yelled to my husband "we've been attacked". I didn't need to hear the News Caster say, I just knew it. I sat there thinking for the longest time, those poor people. I thought of the children with parents any longer and I cried. As we wacthed that morning we thought we were seeing a replay, but it was the second tower being hit. Tht image is burned in my mind. Saddly our day had to go on, as a Customer Service Rep. at a cable company we wacthed what was going on, and we answered calls many out the coverage, or people asking if their cable was out when it would return, becase they had loved ones in NYC or DC. When I got home that night I called my Family in Minnesota to make sure they wee all ok.
Bless all those who lost their lives in NYC, DC and on PENN.
Bless and keep their famlies.
