I was at work like every day I go to work, I was listening to the radio and someone turns to me and says a plane hit the twin towers thinking yeah right thats not even funny.

Then I heard them say another one has hit, I was so scared. The first thought that came to my mind was disbelieve then I wondered where everyone I loved was, at that time my fiancee was in Marion buying something for his truck, his dad a lt. colonel so I wondered about him and his mother who was with his grandparents in New York but far away that they were not in the area.

I thought of my family and there well being and then his sister who just moved to Hawaii with her little daughter I was so scared not knowing if people were ok.

it never hit that day how serious it was and what really happened.

I cried everyone cried, I could see the fear in my fiancees eyes wondering about his family-he comes from a military family.

I felt so bad for him knowing everyone I loved was ok. My grandfather couldnt believe it, something like this in my life time.WOW!.

I still hurt and cry to this day thats a memory that will never be out of my mind and heart. I am so angry at them to leave all those people to die.

I guess I dont know what to say except I send my love to those that lost someone and those that morn and hurt.

I am sorry something like this ever had to happen.
