Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I'd begun packing the night before for a trip to visit my son and daughter-in-law in New York. My flight was scheduled for the morning of September 13, 2001. At about 6A.M. on September 11th, I was awakened by the most crushing phone call of my life. My son, Chris, told me to turn on the TV. As I tried to focus my sleepy eyes, I could see the smoke and flames from the first tower hit. As we silently watched and listened, the second airplane hit the other tower. We finally realized the magnitude of the attack. Terrorism. Everyone screaming, crying, running for their lives. Then, the Pentagon was hit by another plane. The World Trade Center Towers fell...it seemed like they crumbled in slow motion. The huge plumes of smoke and dust and rubble rolled through the streets of New York like a raging storm. I would have been on the same flight that went down in Shanksville, PA...just one week later. God bless all those who gave so much that fateful day. God grant their souls peace and their families and friends strength to continue without their loved ones. God bless all those brave individuals who, without question, raced in to help save lives and assist all those who had been injured. GOD BLESS AMERICA! OUR FREEDOM WILL STAND AS A BEACON OF STRENGTH TO ALL THE WORLD - FOREVER. We're stronger now. We will not falter. We've been reminded that our love for one another shall never fail. That it has been the love of family, friends, neighbors, and our country that has provided us with the greatest blessings. Sharon Tirabasso, as I remember September 11, 2001.
