Remembering those lost today

This is obviously not TTC/Baby related.  

Where were you 12 years ago today?  Do you do anything on the anniversary to honor the victims lost?  What does this day mean to you?

Re: Remembering those lost today

  • I was working at Home Depot and couldn't believe my eyes. I live with my first responder and hero and I thank God every time she comes home safe to me. This is a reminder to me how valuable and precious life is. 

    TTC our first. Married to, and madly in love with, my beautiful wife. Living with our fur baby and enjoying 19 nieces and nephews.

  • I worked in an office and was on the phone with a customer and they told me about the plane hitting the first building.  We didn't have tv's at work, so I went to CNN website to find out what was going on.  I lived in Louisville, KY at the time and worked right next to the airport.  After they landed all the planes it was eerily quiet.  They shut down huge factories in the town and it was just like the whole city shut down.  I spent the night with my ex watching the news in disbelief.  It doesn't feel like it was 12 years ago.

  • I was a freshman in college.  I was getting ready to go to class and my roommate told me a plane crashed into the WTC.  I asked her what happened and she said she didn't know.  I went to the cafeteria to get breakfast and watched the TV in disbelief.  It was so surreal to watch a commercial airliner slam into a building like that.  I was only 19 when it happened and I don't know if I really processed the horror at that time.  A lot of the girls on my floor were from NY and New Jersey and there were a lot of tears that night.  Unbelievable.  I pray to whatever diety exists that we never see anything like that again in our lifetime.
  • DP was really shaken by it though I didn't know her.  Said she had nightmares for weeks afterwards about our campus being bombed.  I can't imagine what thoughts went through the minds of the people responsible for this tragedy.
