Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: The ringing of the phone woke me up to what I knew had to be bad news, no one ever called us that early. My mother had called to tell me to turn on the TV because the US was under attack. I quickly woke up my husband & tuned in to the news. We both sat watching in utter disbelief. I kept thinking my mom had turned on some war movie and was confusing it with reality, like the radio broadcast by Orson Wells so many years ago. I kept waiting for the movie to end but it never did, this was real. We were speechless. I remember hot tears streaming down my face and thinking life here in the US will never be the same again. This action would change so many people's lives. I decided not to send my 8 year old daughter to school. Her school is non denominational facility but they lease the grounds next to a Jewish Temple and I feared there may be trouble there. As it turned out only about 10% of the students came to school that day so classes were cancelled. One year has passed since that very tragic day and it is as painful to remember now as it was then.
