9-11

I don't believe there is an American who does not know what they were doing and where they were at seven years ago today.
I had taken my beloved grandmother to the doctors. Like always when she was in the vehicle with me I had kept the radio turned down low cause I knew she did not appreciate my taste in music plus we were too busy talking anyway to pay attention to it.
As I parked I heard a glimpse of something about an airplane crash. I thought how tragic and turned the car off knowing I would read about it later.
The doctor sent her down to the lab and as we waited watching the TV in the common waiting area we witnessed another plane hit the second tower.
In an instant you just knew this was no accident, in an instant you just knew life would never be the same again.
As I sit here writing this seven years later it still feels like it happened only yesterday. My heart goes out to all those who lost loved ones on this day, the day America cried.
