9/11

Wow seven years. I can't believe it. The terrorist attacks in New York, Washington Dc., and the Pennsylvania field were a defining moment in most American's lives. I remember I was just getting out of bed and Todd told me some planes had hit the Twin Towers in New York and as we were walking down the hall of our then tiny trailer, the 1st Tower fell. It was a feeling that I can't describe. Probably similar to the one most people felt. I was speechless and scared to death. I watched the news a little more and Osama Bin Ladin kept popping into my mind. When I saw him interviewed a few years earlier, I felt totally frightened by the sight of him. He ozzed evil. Anyway, as the day progressed and I watched the 2nd Tower fall, I sat there with my two little boys (Spencer was 3 and Adam was 3 months) I thought about all the families that were loosing loved ones. I truly was just overwhelmed with so many emotions. I still don't know what to say, it was just a sad and mournful day.
My heart goes out to everyone who was effected by the terrorist attacks. I'm sure that where we were and what were doing when we found out is still prominently in all of our minds.
I think Alan Jackson does a great job with this song.
