sorry this is so long
9/11 whoa what do we all say, it was a nasty day thats for sure, i was late going to work and had heard about a plane hit the first tower and the radio wasnt sure as to what type and what extent and as i pulled into work the reporter shouted while doing his interview omg another plane just hit the other tower,
I walked into work told them turn off music and turn on news on radio they gave me a hard time i said do it we are being attacked, I knew that two planes was not an accident. needless to say we all freaked,
deb and my mom went and got all 5 boys out of school and stayed at her house. I was on tonys route that day, I use to do the same 5 different routes each week. about an hour in to the route a guy started saying its horrible the building is down, and as far I could comprehend, he meant facial structural damage not the whole building,
did not see another customer the whole day walking and were i delivered we are not real far from Ohare airport and it got quieter and quieter in the air, finished my route got home to my moms as fast as i could and as i walked in they were showing the second plane, going over that reporters head and into the building, my knees literally buckled and i went to my knees, I was in such shock,
I still had absolutely no idea of the extent of damage and it just floored me. the friendly gent who told me the buildings were gone, that concept hit home a few moments later when they showed it all,
debs cousin worked at the pentagon and it took about 3-5 days after it to find out she was ok, she took some time off and no one knew except her job, her and her boyfriend went camping and when they went to a nearby store for some more food provisions, they saw a newspaper and immediately called her family and friends to let them know what was up,
Ms will never take this memory away, all those innocent souls, 9/11 still gets to me, i burn a candle every 9/11 all day all night and my kids were told when i die they are to continue it, and i mean it, sorry to go on i didnt want to touch the 9/11 memory because i knew i would go on about it, it still touches me very deeply, what they did was a sin in any Gods eye.
