Patriot Day....

I just wanted to put a quick post about where I was and what I remember 5 years ago today. We all do that. We all think about where we were when we heard the news and how we felt when we saw the towers fall on tv.

I heard it on DC101. I heard Elliot talking about a plane that had crashed into the first tower. I remember thinking, how sad, but didn't think on it a whole lot. Then before I got to work (at Harmon Homes) I heard the 2nd plane had hit. I remember walking into the building and looking up at the beautiful clear skies for a plane. I got to work and my coworkers were talking about it. The more we talked about it the more we worked ourselves up. Then someone heard from someone else about the Pentagon being hit. I remember, we were sent home and we watched everything on tv from there. I do remember hearing about the first tower falling but I saw the 2nd tower fall on TV when we got home. I remember watching people jump out of the windows on tv and thats when it finally hit me. I didn't actually break down until I decided to go feed Chelsea. I had to feed her because I didn't the day before and I had promised mom I would check on her a few times while mom was at Grandmas. I had called mom from Harmon homes and she hadn't heard anything about it yet.

I cried in the car and I think I cried more when I finally got back home. I was afraid to leave my house but had to.

It was such a horrible day. I'll never forget some of those moments or how I felt.

I don't think anyone will forget that day.
