It has been 3 years 4 months and 8 days since Sept. 11, 2001. I had just came back from the Vets office very upset because my 9 year old Doberman female had a tumor on her and they were going to do surgery on her. I was afraid I was going to lose her. I came home to wait on them to call and tell me how she was and whether she was going to be ok. I had no more than walked in the door and the phone rang. It was my husband. He said "A plane hit one of the Towers and then other plane trying to see what happened hit the other one". I said "No we have been hit. They have hit the Towers OH MY GOD". I turned the TV on and started watching things unfold. I just sat there in shock. Thinking this can't be happening. My first thought was they are going to need blood. I called our hospital and I was told because I had just had surgery I couldn't give any blood. I was so upset I started to cry. Then my phone rang and my neighbor called she was crying and scared. Worrying about us being hit here in Indiana. I told her that are skies had never been safer. They were shutting down the airports and the military planes were in the air. I just sat for a long time and watched the news and what was going on. The longer the day went the madder I got at the people that had done this. I am still mad and angry about the loss of human lives that day. So much death and no real reason why other than someones hatred for the American people. No one should ever forget what happened that day on Sept. 11, 2001. The people that lost loved ones are still in my prays and always will be. It is a day to be remembered.
