Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I took my usual drive to the office from Detroit to Livonia, Michigan. Upon entering the building, the switchboard operator asked if I had heard anything on the radio about a plane hitting the World Trade Center. I had not heard anything that morning because I had chosen to listen to a CD instead of turning on the radio. When I ascended to the second level of our building, I noticed the noise from the television and there was a made rush of people to get to the lunchroom area. All of us stayed glued to the television in unbelief as the events of September 11 continued to unfold. That day wound up being a very nonproductive day at our office as well as the next day. A grief counselor was brought in because some of us were experiencing problems from what we had seen and heard. Although we were not in New York, Pennsylvania or Washington, DC, we all felt their pain and grief. We became a nation touched by grief. I later found out that a very dear friend of my sister's had recently moved into the new offices on the side of the Pentagon where the plane hit. All of our lives have been touched in one way or another, either directly or indirectly by the unforgettable horric events of September 11. If we learned nothing else from what happened, we all should be kinder and more loving towards each other on a daily basis and not wait for a tragic event to bring this county together.
