Remembering September 11th

Remembering……….September 11, 2001
Color of the sky
the warmth of the sun’s rays
the crisp air
Feeling unusually alive and connected with the world around me
Meeting in the middle school cafeteria
Sitting across from a friend
Getting word that a plane flew into the World Trade Center
Being confused
Wondering who was there
Wondering who was hurt
Trying to figure out what was happening
Driving home
Crying
Turning on the TV
Trying to comprehend what was happening
In a state of shock and disbelief
Crying
Being scared
Being nervous
Praying to God
Praying BillyA would be okay
Needing to talk to my husband
Needing my family home with me
Needing to hug the people I love
Incredibly sad
Incredibly sad
