I was on my way to work. I was listening to CD's so I hadn't heard the news. I got to work and my husband phoned and told me. My first thought is that I wanted to go home and gather up all my family and tell them I love them and hide together.<br /><br />The radio was on at work and we just kept hearing the same headlines over and over again...my stomach was feeling so ill...a lady in our office said, "Can we turn that radio off? It's killing me." I still remember. I still feel. I'm still sad about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184348351329402288.post-29100307194241005852010-09-11T23:16:03.343-04:002010-09-11T23:16:03.343-04:00Lanie, my love.

I was awakened that morning in California by a call from my brother in the Midwest, telling me to turn on the TV because we were at war. I couldn't decipher what he was telling me through my sleepiness, but turned on the TV in time to see the second plane hit and everything that followed. I prayed a lot that day, did a couple radio interviews (I was a spiritual teacher at the time and they were asking my take on the situation from that realm), hosted a very scared friend at my house, and the rest is a blur. May God spare us the danger against ourselves. May God bless YOU for the courage and heart that pours out of you. Much love to you, sister.

She just turned 9 and is the youngest in her 4th grade class, just started clarinet lessons, is making new friends at her new school, loves church, scouts, Kids for Peace, and is the best gift I've ever gotten.

I remember all the footage, and how I got to feel numb seeing it so much. But now, so many years later, I feel the horror upon viewing the footage that I did when I first saw the collisions.<br />And added to that your fear of being a Mom, I can taste your anxiety in that post.<br /><br />But I have to ask, without inquiring too personally and digging too much-how is your daughter now?<br /><br />Polar's Mom<br />www.polarspage.blogspot.comPolar's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714065039614278619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184348351329402288.post-10500261392255197232010-09-11T13:29:58.368-04:002010-09-11T13:29:58.368-04:00Lanie, thank you for opening up and sharing a part...Lanie, thank you for opening up and sharing a part of yourself today.

I do remember your sister's comment that made us both giggle and cry together while holding our babies six hours apart.

We got called back from the field trip. I went home and sat in front of the TV.Karenhttp://www.waistingtimeblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
