Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My father had a triple by-pass performed at the U of PA hospital 9/10/2001. I travelled from my home in CT with my 9yr. old daughter to stay at my sister's house with my mother, who came from Atlantic City; and my brother who came from Canada. My husband called when the first plane hit the WTC. He woke me up. As if what he said was in a dream, I went back to sleep. I thought it was a part of my dream. He called again when the second plane crashed. I woke up my family and we watched CNN,like the rest of the nation, in horror. Since NJ is separated from Phila. by bridges, and all bridges were closed to traffic, we could not visit my father on his 1st day of recovery from surgery. He later told us that when he woke, the first thing the docs told him was about the attacks. He, too, thought it was a dream and didn't believe it until he watched it on TV. It took me 3 days to return to CT. I would have to drive over one of the bridges that connect NYC to NJ & CT. They were all closed to traffic. Two years later, on this the anniversary date of the tragedy, I am still tearful and I stop what I'm doing for a moment of reflection, sadness and rememberance when the radio or a co-worker marks the times the planes went down.
