I was at work on 9/11/2001. A co-worker came in a few minutes late and said she had heard the World Trade Centers had been hit and there was now a fire at the Pentagon. We had no tv or radio in our office so none of us really fully understood what was going on until we got home that night and saw for ourselves. I was am blessed in that I did not lose anyone that day. I can only imagine what families who did lose loved ones are feeling today, the one year anniversary. I am amazed every day by stories of men and women who lost a spouse and are now raising their children alone. Children who will never meet their fathers. Children who will never see their mom or dad again. All of the victims and their families are in my prayers. May you continue to recover and bless you all.
