I'll never forget the day as long as I may live. I had just gotten up and turned the tv on to TBS. It was 9:10 am according to the cable box. I had just begun making the bed when my husband yelled back to me to put on CNN that a plane had hit the trade center. I stared in awe, unsure if what I saw was real or a movie scene. Much to our horror and shock it was real. A few moments later the second plane hit and within moments we knew that our life was about to change forever. When we witnessed the towers falling it broke our hearts. To know so many people died senselessly. Being former New Yorkers we felt the rage and anger of not being able to do anything. We couldn't read the paper or watch tv w/o crying a river of tears. Even though we personally did not know anyone, we still grieved for them.
