6 years ago today

I know this is a Special Olympics blog but I just couldn't ignore the significance of the day... 6 years have gone by since that fateful day in NY, PA and Washington. Certainly an event that changed the lives of every American.
So, where were you when it happened and what were you thinking? I was actually on my way to get an x-ray when I heard that the first plane had crashed. I remember getting to the DRs office and telling the technician about it. "Did you hear that some guy crashed his plane in to the World Trade Center?" Little did I know. By the time I got in the car to head home, our Nation was under attack and I was going on with my merry life. I called my mom to tell her about my appointment and her voice sounded so strange. "what's wrong?" I asked. She proceeded to tell me everything and I stepped on the gas to get home to my two year old as quickly as possible. I felt panicked and confused. I was glued to television. I remember calling my husband who was working in NH and begging him to come home. I also remember right in the middle of all of it thinking, OMG we need milk, and rushing to the store to be sure we had everything we needed. I don't know what I thought was going to happen but I knew I was going to be prepared.
Funny what people do. Now, six years ago I still clearly remember all of the details of that day and all of the emotions. I pray that we never have another day like that one. That day changed the lives of all of us. Never forget. God Bless America.
