Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On Labor Day weekend I left my 3 children with my ex-husband in Illinios to finish out the school year before following be to Texas. As so many single parents do, I work very hard every day to take care of my children who were all under the age of 8 at the time of the attack. I was staying with my mother in her 1 bedroom apt in San Antonio, and was looking for work. On the morning of the attacks, I woke up at 7:45 or so. I turned on the TV and went to the kitchen to fix a cup of tea, I heard the news on but wasnt paying any attention to the conversation until I turned the corner into the living room. I looked at the TV and saw the plane hit the tower. At first I thought I was seeing things. How could this be? That is New York, not some 3rd world country. I made it to the sofa, realizing that this was really happening. I called my father who is a long-haul driver for a major transportation company to see where he was in the USA. He had no idea of the situation, and instantly turned on the radio in his rig. I was happy that he was no where near the eastern part of the county, but felt guilty and sorrowful for all those we lost. I cried for the next few hours, Cried for those gone, those unknown, and those left behind. I couldnt peel myself from the TV. I did not shower, missed an interview, and did not eat on Sept. 11th 2001 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
