I was asleep and had my radio on. I awoke to the news instead of music. I thought it had to be a play of some kind. It all became too real when the phone rang and it was my sister. She was terrified and thought it was the end of the world. She had been told to leave work. Her and our other sister were at Mayo Clinic in scyscapers. She said she was going to get our sister and was going home to hold our nephew. She told us she loved us all very much. I knew that she might be right. I knew we had faced our darkest hour as a world.

Yes, it has, It made me realize not one of us has a day to spare. Those people all got on planes and went to work. They never knew they weren't returning home to their loved ones. It also made me say I love to those I do love. I don't want to leave this earth with loved ones behind not knowing I love them.

The wake up call we all got. None of us are 100 percent safe. It was a major sucker punch for the entire world.

YES! I AM AN AMERICAN AND I AM PROUD OF IT! GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.
