Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was driving to work when I heard on the radio about the first plane hitting the tower....and then the second tower a bit later. The disc jockeys were trying to confirm this...they thought it must be a really bad hoax. Then they confirmed it. I got to work and some had gathered in our conference room to watch the news on the TV in there. We heard about the Pentagon being hit next. We had two co-workers in D.C. working at the Marriott near there who were putting on one of our medical meetings. When we were able to reach them via phone, they said they felt the hotel shake and people were wondering what had happened. Our office closed down at 9am PST that day. We were stunned and saddened and worried about our co-workers at our NY based offices and our co-workers in D.C. On a more personal level I was worried about a close friend who was a police officer in NY at Plaza One. I was not able to get hold of him and took several days before he could get through to let me know what he was going through, but that he was safe. I hope people never forget how precious and fragile life can be....and to make the most of each day and not forget to share the good things with others...share our love and be quick to forgive....listen to one another and share our feelings and be proud that when a crisis hit, we were humane, we gave our prayers and our energy and our money and whatever else that was needed to aide others. I did not lose anyone that day in NY or D.C. or PA., but, that doesn't mean my heart and prayers are not always with those who did.
