I remember waking up that morning and my mom telling me to turn on the TV.
I remember watching the plane crash into one of the towers and thinking "That wasn't an accident...."
I remember listening to the reporters come to the same conclusion about 10 minutes later.
I remember being really angry.
I remember everyone watching the TV everywhere I went.
I remember being horrified as I saw people jumping from the towers.
I remember going to work and having my employee trainer not show up.
I remember listening to the radio all day.
I remember my dad was out of state.
I remember worrying that one of my close friends husbands might be in the Pentagon.
I remember taking real pride in those firemen and police officers that lost their lives that day. (they chose to try to save as many people as they could and payed with their own lives.)
I REMEMBER....

Thanks for this post. I think it's important to pause and think about this.
I'm so glad they did the beams of light. So cool.
OK. Clearly I am on crack... because I keep forgetting that my Mormon Mommy Blogs account has nothing tied to it... hence the 2 deleted comments. Yes. Call me a tard! :>
Anyway. You have been added. I like your header. I like this song. And now I will slink away like a dorkwad...
ROFL understood!
Thanks April. This day makes me want to stay in bed and pull the covers over my head. I wonder if this is how our grandparents' generation feels about Dec. 7 (when Pearl Harbor was bombed). I for one am glad this day is over.
BTW, your parents always seem to be out of state or country when something bad happens. What's up with that?!!
Thanks for the post. I remember all of that too! What a sad day in our history, but hopefully one that we'll never forget and will continue to draw us closer as a country!
My sister and I freaked out because we didn't know where our dad was when the towers went down...he traveled a lot and New York was on his list of places he visited every month. Fortunately, he was in California when this all happened, but he had been in New York in the towers 4 days before hand.
What a nice video though. And like Nat, I liked the lights.
