Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My husband and I go on early morning walks along the trail by our home in Plano, Texas. The morning of the 10th many cargo planes were flying low on their approach into Dallas For Worth International Aiport. I remember feeling very fortunate that during my lifetime I had not had to see my father, brother, or a husband go off to war. After my early morning walk on the 11th I recall having very little energy so I had gone back to bed and didn't wake up until almost 10:00 am. I notice my answering machine was full and blinking. There were progressively urgent messages from my husband. I thought it was another layoff until he said " . . . there is a lot going on in the world today, you might want to turn on the t.v." When I did . . . well, I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. I feel to my knees, cried and screamed "Oh my GOD! They know not what they do!" Another phone call broke me from the crying and it was two friends wanting to come over. I work from home and am often isolated so I welcomed the opportunity. It was good to have friends with me during that time. One friend, Jane, is a pilot and I felt comforted by her explainations and what her training entailed on forced cockpit entry. I'm a longarm quilter; I finish quilts for people. The quilt I loaded into my machine on the 10th had the popular skyline fabric featured in it. I found the twin towers and outlined them and then simply put the date under the statue of liberty. The customer was very glad I had thought to do that. The thing is I didn't think, I just did it to preserve history. Yesterday, September 11, 2002 I had a beautiful angel quilt that I loaded into my machine. It was of great comfort to quilt it while I listened to the names being read of each victim during the ceremony. I will never forget. Allison C.
