On 9/11 I had just gotten off of the midnight shift as a nurse in an extended care facility and was eagerly awaiting the appointment that morning that would allow me to see if my first grandchild was going to be a boy or a girl. As I waited for the time to pass prior to the appointment, I was watching the CBS Morning Show and the news came over the airwaves. I was glued to the set during the entire ordeal. Those at the OB/GYN office had not heard anything and I began speaking of it and then it seemed to come over the radio there. I will always remember this day...a nightmare and a dream.
