It was a clear, beautiful, sunny Central Florida day. I remember clearing breakfast dishes and making lists of important errands to get done. My husband, who was retired and home, was watching his usual "Fox and Friends" morning show when the news broke. We sat there watching the TV as the second plane approached the second tower in disbelief. I immediately screamed, "No! This can't be happening." My immediate thoughts were of the thousands of people that normally would be working in the building. After all, up North, doesn't everybody go to work at 7:30 or 8:00 in the morning? They sure did when I lived there 31 years ago. Needless to say, I never got my errands done that day. As a matter of fact, I didn't leave the house for 4 days. We ate whatever was in the house. We were litterally glued to the TV. Today I pray that those people who have lost their lives shall not have died in vain and that justice will be served.
