Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was at a Cocoa Police Department with a client and her child who were getting a free car seat. One of the officers came downstairs and told some of us who were waiting in the lobby for the officer to train us on how to properly put in carseats said that the World Trade Centers were hit. I looked at her and was kind of confused because I had no inclination of what she was saying. I kept looking at others who were in the lobby waiting also and looked even more confused. Then it hit me what she said. I finally took my client and her child home and rushed back to the office and talked to my other co-workers and they were upset, scared and astonished as I was. Then I heard that a plane crashed in Pennsylvania and that another plane hit the other Tower in New York. I then realized that something was not right here. I thought that maybe the pilot was confused or something. I became scared and nervous and did not know what to do. Then we got a call from our Program Director that the offices were closed and for everyone to go home. I went to pick up my two boys from Daycare and went home. All day long on the television were images of the tragedies and how so many people were hurt. You did not know if they were either stuck in the buildings or got out. All I know was that then two buildings collapsed, people running all over the place, crying, screaming. That day will never be forgotten. I still have those images of that day. I pray that someday all of us will eventually get on with our lives and live day by day. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone.
