I will NEVER forget....

.....the morning of September 11th, 2001 and I don't think many of us ever will.   I can still remember exactly where I was when the first plane hit and even the second.  I was in the Mammogram Department at my local hospital for my annual test.  I was waiting to be told my films were read, and that I was free to go...!  Then the breaking news came over the TV....like many people, I saw the building and assumed a "small" plane had somehow hit it....but as we watched and then saw the second plane hit....we knew it had to be something MUCH worse...
It was at that time, I was released and made the 10 minute drive home...by the time I got into the house and turned on the TV the third plane had hit the Pentagon...I felt sick.  Packey was at work and both the boys were in school, but ALL I wanted was for them to ALL come home!  I wanted my family together, and it was a long wait for the kids to get off the bus that afternoon.   Brian, being in High School, knew all about the events of the day and they spent much of that day in the Cafe in front on the TV.  Alex was only in the 4th Grade and the school made the decision NOT to tell the younger children and sent all the kids home with notes telling us WHY they made the decision and who to contact if we need assistance in talking to our kids.   I remember being scared when the fourth plane was "missing" and no one knew where it was....I wondered if it were near me, my kids or my Hubby.  I live only 30 miles North of Boston and learning that two of those fated planes had departed from my home airport...made it even more surreal.   
I remember thinking I would NEVER fly again!  But, time did help heal that anxiety and I am grateful, otherwise, it would be so hard not being able to hop on a place,  as I do often to go and visit Brian!  I still still think about 911 every time I do fly and HOPE that there will NEVER a tragedy like it ever again???
