911DA Story: Story

The cable for the tv had gone out on this morning, so I had no tv. I was on a grief chat line, because I had lost my husband April 20. While talking, someone said, "Hey, the World Trade Center had been hit." I thought it was probably and accident. Then, later, I heard the next one was hit. Then about the plane in PA and the Pentegon. I was really beside myself. Already in lots of grief. I was devastated, as everyone was. But this made me so sad. I was already sad beyond belief when this happened. I still am so sad. It was a black, black day in the history of our world. It was Tuesday, September 11, 2001.
