911DA Story: Story
Probably like so many Americans, I watched the horrible event unfold right before my eyes on TV. I had just finished performing 7 days in a row of parties and just the night before I played an event "Blind Wine Tasting and Touring" here in Bethpage. I was very wiredand didn't sleep well the night of the10th.I felt a strange feeling in the air. It happens to me a lot.
Anyway, I was tossing and turning and my husband's alarm went off and we heard the news of a plane hitting the Trade Center. We bolted out of bed and sat in front of the TV set and watched the whole thing happen. We were numb. Was this real, Was it a TV movie?
My husband is a Port Jefferson Fire Department Volunteer Fireman. He quickley called the fire house. A truck was leaving to go in and help.
From that day forward I have had trouble sleeping through the night without seeing the two towers burning, or the plane hitting. I can't even imagine what it was like to actually be there. It effected me so and I wasn't even there.
My heart and prayers go out to everyone that were really affected by this horrible act! God forgive them.
Pray for Peace,
Denice and Don Given, Port Jefferson, NY
