I awoke to a phone call (about 7AM Pacific time) from my husband who was in Melbourne, Australia on business.It was about midnight in Australia. He said " turn on the television. The World Trade Center has just been hit and I can not come home,(He was suppose to fly home that day on United Air Lines).He fly to Sydney and then after 5 days of waiting flew on to Berlin where he had business the next week.
I watched in horror as the second plane hit and then the towers falling to the ground. I felt like I was watching a
movie, (but it was real.
My children live in Arizona and Idaho, so I was all alone and did not know when my husband would be able to come home, but was thankful that I still have a husband and he did get home about a week and a half later.
I pray for those who were not so fortunate.
