So we went into the waiting room and turned on the news to see what was going on...<br /><br />It was early still so things were chaotic but when the reports about the planes started filtering in we were stunned. We left the doctors and noticed that the streets were eerily quiet. We had to stop by the store to pick something up on the way home and everything was deserted. We wondered if the employees who were working knew.<br /><br />We went home and started watching the news. We immediately began worrying about our loved ones who were in the affected areas. I was also shocked because I was supposed to have been on one of the potentially impacted flights that day. The events really impacted me - I will NEVER forget.<br /><br />Ramona<br />http://create-with-joy.comCreate With Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954209323850040276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966599997497870712.post-5382825314238746062011-09-11T14:55:28.691-04:002011-09-11T14:55:28.691-04:00I love today's hop.

I was working nights. My kids kept calling and calling from school. I finally woke up on about the 10th call. My daughter was so upset because my sister-in-law worked by the Pentagon. She was traveling at the time so she was okay.<br /><br />I had just given my notice the night before but I still had 2 weeks left. That night we got so many calls from people afraid because they heard an airplane overhead or something. I will never forget.<br /><br />Thanks, <br />Kelli <br />www.LetsStartSavingNow.comKelli Guilbeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07170495983221316954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966599997497870712.post-33656889411302493802011-09-11T13:33:12.974-04:002011-09-11T13:33:12.974-04:00Hi there, following you via GFC from the Sunday Fu...Hi there, following you via GFC from the Sunday Funday Hop!

I really thought those in the twin towers could be helped. When they fell down I was shocked and upset for those left behind that had to cope with their loss.About JollyJillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10905906450626390085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966599997497870712.post-41202963432741608562011-09-11T02:30:16.694-04:002011-09-11T02:30:16.694-04:00I was in high school we didn't have access to ...I was in high school we didn't have access to the news but some of my teachers had very worried looks on their faces---until the end of the day one of my teacher told out classroom.kenmeihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16198792239604250955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966599997497870712.post-35229060492790361772011-09-11T01:35:18.754-04:002011-09-11T01:35:18.754-04:00I was helping my grandmother with her flea market....I was helping my grandmother with her flea market.

When I got to class they just had the TV on the news channel and we all sat, watched and cried together. We were in downtown Denver, there was concern for safety, so they ended up closing campus half way through the day. It was terrifying. Although I didn't know anyone in NY at the time, nor did I know any one who lost a loved one, I will never forget that day and will always have a place in my heart for those directly affected by the tradegy.Perpetual Pandemoniumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09004261080300287175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966599997497870712.post-9303454015001957852011-09-10T22:50:24.561-04:002011-09-10T22:50:24.561-04:00I was in my office in Times Square.

As I was just about to leave to go to school, I saw what I thought was a small plane crashing into some building. I made my walk to school and in those 10 minutes, all the news came out. They canceled classes for the next 2 days. First thing I did was call my friend who was in the building next to the trade center.luckily, she made it out! My dad also was working nearby. I will never forget 9-11.LOVE MELISSA:)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17817113883788123693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966599997497870712.post-6497013432421930312011-09-10T19:18:30.531-04:002011-09-10T19:18:30.531-04:00I was a Sophomore in high school.

She was just obsessed with him. Then they turned on all the tvs and the school went silent pretty much the rest of the day. The tv was a tiny little box one that they rolled on wheels. We were all pretty scared for what else could happen. I will never forget that day.Siamapieceofcakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423657729472372006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966599997497870712.post-90841750462307605422011-09-10T19:15:53.994-04:002011-09-10T19:15:53.994-04:009/11 has had a big impact on alot of peoples lives...9/11 has had a big impact on alot of peoples lives, This sad tragic day 10 years ago. I remeber I was with an ex, and we heard the horrible news over the radio on the way to get his little girl for the day. My ex Roger is from New York, so we had to make alot of phone calls to make sure all his family was ok. Lucky for us, none of his family was harmed. My heart does go out to all the people who lost a loved one in that horrific event. And to all the children who lost a parent, and to all the wifes who lost a husband and vise vera, and to all the sisters and brothers who lost a sister or brother. Remeber that they will ALWAYS be with you and looking upon you, and that one day, you too will be with them again!JENNihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01261635394792349297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966599997497870712.post-52911988186448855422011-09-10T19:14:41.032-04:002011-09-10T19:14:41.032-04:00I was born and raised in New York and I was a fres...I was born and raised in New York and I was a freshman in college on 9/11. It might have been my third day of class. I was fortunate enough to have not lost anyone I loved, but it was an incredibly scary time in New York. We were told to evacuate the class buildings and return home or to our dorms. No one made it to their rooms because every one who entered the dorm building sat in the common room with the television and watched. We could not look away. The thing that stays with me though is what came later. That night we stayed up watching a possible scare at the Empire State Building, and for weeks later, seeing National Guard men in Queens, NY when we were going out for dinner or to the movies was really strange. Getting stalled in a tunnel on the subway made everyone look around and laugh really nervously. There was a huge outpouring of love for the NYPD and FDNY, but it was also our lead story for well over a year and it was really hard to make it through a day without talking about it. It's much different in Seattle, and San Francisco, two places I've lived since, and I feel funny not being in New York for the anniversary. My heart goes out to all of those who lost loved ones in the initial attack or in the wars that have been fought as a result of the event. I thank the members of our armed forces and civil services for giving of themselves every day in honor of those we lost.Things Sent My Wayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321649570629764230noreply@blogger.com
