Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I lived in Texas and was actually in the air when the first plane struck. We landed in Minneapolis to change plans around 8:45 - just in time to watch the 2nd plane hit the other tower. From there we sat glued and crying watching the towers fall and thinking this is a movie - it can't be real. My daughter was home alone in Texas without any family around. I was so far away and she was scared. We sat around the airport for hours wondering what was going to happen and what to do. Eventually, we went to a hotel and waited and waited. For the next two days we went to the airport trying to get home - unsuccessfully. On the 3rd day, a bunch of people got together in the hotel lobby and found out who lived where and who could share cars home. Four of us found a car and headed south. Two were going to Texas and 2 to Atlanta. When we got to Kansas, we found a small airline flying. We all finally made it home after 4 days of unknowning, saddness, and fear for what was to happen from here. I did meet some wonderful people along the way and was reminded that even in the face of death - GOD is all around us and loves us very much. Do not ever take a day for granted and do not be scared or embarrassed to express feelings to those who have touched your life in a small way or are a major part of your life - tell them you love them and thank them for being who they are. God bless all those who lost loved on this terrible day. Even though I did not - I felt the sorrow and grief for you all and wish that I could have offered comfort and support.
