I have been remembering 9-11-01 today and thinking about what I was doing when I heard the news. I was sitting on the couch 7 months pregnant with Savannah eating breakfast. We had just moved to Tulsa, OK and I had a job interview later that day. I could not tear myself away from the news. Watching something I could not beleive was happening. I remember thinking "what kind of world am I bringing my child into?" I was so shocked that something like this could happen so close to home. I feel for the people who lost someone when the towers fell. I cannot understand what causes some people to be so evil. So as you go throughout your day today, remember those who lost their lives and those who lost loved ones and say a prayer for them.
Oh yeah, leave a comment and let us know what you were doing that morning.
When I first heard about what had happened I was lazing in bed (6 mos preg. and no other kids can make a girl do that) and my mom called. I ran to the front room and flipped on the TV. I couldn't believe it. We were living in Edmond, OK at the time. I was watching while the second plane flew into the building. I just remember feeling so sad and overwhelmed for the mothers that were pregnant and their husbands had died in the towers. I remember watching a special that had mothers and pregnant mothers from 9/11 and then later after they had had their babies. I just had to keep thinking that the Lord doesn't give you anything you can't handle.
ReplyDeleteI was woken up to Stephanie calling me and telling me to turn on the t.v. It seemed so far away because I was living in Hawaii. There were friends at our house and they had to stay another 3 days!
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing. What kind of world am I bring this child into?
ReplyDeleteI was on my way to school (I was teaching in Tremonton) and we tuned in to the radio. They were talking about the first tower being hit and then all of the sudden they freaked out and said that the second one had been hit. When I got to school and saw that the Pentagon had also been hit, I lost it. Being attacked on our own soil was HORRIFYING...I had one student ask if they would hit an elementary school because there were a lot of people in it. That day seemed unreal, and I still feel for those who lost their lives and for those that risked and/or gave their own lives to save the survivors.
