    I remember finally getting to sleep with the baby (he was so sick) and my husband hollering for me. Couldn't believe what he said. Shortly thereafter watching # 2 hit.

    My heartfelt prayers with those who were affected by this national tragedy.:heart::heart:

    What a horrible day! I was 7 months pregnant and was at work. I still get people here in Italy that ask me really stupid questions about that day and it makes me really mad because (a lot of them - not everyone) they will never understand what a heartbreaking day that was in America!

    Just wanted to send a prayer to all those that were and are still affected by this day.

    I remember it very clearly (was living on Long Island at the time and saw the smoke and heard of all the people in my town and the surrounding towns that were lost).

    I still live in the suburbs of NYC and though 7 years have passed.... all of you that were lost are not far from my thoughts.

    Lots of love to you!
    -Tami

    Love and prayers to all who lost loved ones that horrible day. :cry:

    I was a teacher assistant in a Virginia elementary school. We were coming back from the library when my teacher stopped in the office to check her mail and found out what was happening. We were in a panicky shock and weren't getting any information. My husband is a Navy sailor and his sister from Michigan called my classroom to find out if he had to ship out ... it hadn't even occurred to me yet. He didn't, but we didn't find that out until he hurriedly called later that afternoon.

    My son who was 7 at the time remembers being called in from recess. He didn't understand at the time, but there was a concern about all the military bases in our area being targets.

    When we got home, all I could do was watch. And pray. And cry. :brokenheart:

    America Remembers.:heart:

    My daughter was just telling me about the little ceremony they had at school and how the teachers were telling the students about what happened in 2001. My 5-year-old, Jennifer, said, "Mommy, the bad people ran the airplane into the building. Did the people die?:brokenheart: " It's hard to explain things like hate and death to a little child.

    I have close family in NYC that I visit as often as I can. I was at work when the news came in. One of my co-workers told me. I went into shock and froze. My boss got me to try calling them but I couldn't get through for 3 days. It was probably the longest 3 days of my life. One of my cousins is a pilot and has a NY, Washington route. After 3 days I finally got news that they were all ok but my heart sure went out to those who didn't receive positive news as I had.
    For all of you reading this who were touched in such a deep way, my heart goes out to you and continued prayers for healing. Time might help heal a heart but it was a tragedy that we'll never understand.
