It would definitely be interesting to re-connect with those people. <BR/><BR/>I remember the day pretty well as it was also my birthday. I woke up in my dorm room, excited for the day, and made a quick trip to Big K-Mart (the only store in Ripon) for something - i don't even remember now! My now husband called me, but I had the radio on and was listening to the live announcement and slowly pulled into Big K and just sat there listening as the 1st plane hit. It was devastating really. I remember spending the entire day in my husband's dorm room with a group of friends watching CNN or some other news feed broadcast everything. Needless to say, my 20th birthday was not a very celebrated one. Even though I was so far removed from NYC that is the first time I felt completely helpless. It was also the first time I can recall a remarkable growth in my faith and trust in God. <BR/><BR/>Every year it seems like the memory if 9-11 has grown fainter. This was the first year I didn't feel bombarded with signs and messages. I only saw 1 sign "We will Never Forget" (Thank you Culvers in Darboy). I was surprised that the news shows I frequently watch had barely a 2 minute special on 9-11.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755094655608073057.post-20705404850776069702008-09-14T13:30:00.000-05:002008-09-14T13:30:00.000-05:00I work at a news desk, and had the job of announci...I work at a news desk, and had the job of announcing what had happened. I had NO idea what it really meant. I had some idea that some small plane had collided with a big tower. I told the CEO my version of the fact ... and he put me right! When I saw the images, I was gobsmacked. Like you, 9/11 is a pecular day each year. It is impossible to forget all that series of events.Princess Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12462601473590517921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755094655608073057.post-1875569723824610992008-09-12T11:22:00.000-05:002008-09-12T11:22:00.000-05:00I was at home getting ready for work. DH, I think,...I was at home getting ready for work. DH, I think, had started to leave for work but heard something on the radio that made him come back in the house and turn on the TV. We stood watching, horrified.<BR/><BR/>When I did go to work, I was the first one there for the day, and when my co-worker arrived, I mentioned it to her. She had no idea of what was going on. I felt like I was describing something too horrible to be true...Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12524347632845469825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755094655608073057.post-74277304168929880212008-09-11T23:30:00.000-05:002008-09-11T23:30:00.000-05:00It did indeed change my life.
