do you remember what you were doing on 9/11/01?
i do.
at the time, i was living in ventura, ca.
taylor was 10 months old, i was 21.
i woke up early that am – to hit the tanning salon for a little “fake n bake” before work.
{seems so ridiculous in light of what was going on at that exact moment, hundreds of miles away…but little did i know.}
i heard the horrifying details of the attacks on my way home…time stood still as i sat in my car, listening…
i felt anxiety, fear, anger, sadness, loss. i remember feeling so scared.
to this day, it’s still very hard to see the images, to hear the gut-wrenching interviews, and to not feel anger towards the people who inflicted such pain and suffering on our country…
today, i’d like to take a moment to remember the loved ones who were lost and to honor the heroes who risk their lives to save and protect.
my heart goes out to you.

thanks for posting this…even 10 years later, i’m still processing it all.
it’s so amazing how we can all remember exactly where we were and how we felt at the moment we first heard. i’ll never forget it.
I was on my way home from an a.m. college class. When I walked into my (parent’s) house I saw my mom sitting on the couch watching the event take place. Tears were rolling down her face. I sat down and watched too…we saw the towers fall. We just sat and hugged each other for the longest time.
