I STILL REMEMBER

Five years ago today, my son was in second grade. He was attending his second year, at St. Johns Catholic School. I was just getting into my car, when the school secretary said "an air plane just hit one of the Twin Towers in New York." I didn't think much of it, until I got home, and turned on the TV. This is when, I found out that, this was no accident. Not to mention that, I got home just in time to see, the second plane hit the second tower. I took me back, to the time of our Oklahoma City Bombing. That feeling of udder fear, fell over my body all over again. I didn't think that, I'd ever feel this way again.

I spent the remainder of the day, and the days following, just watching TV. Again, this happened following our bombing. However, at that time, my son was only 13 months old. I had not much else to do, put tend to him and watch TV. Although, after the bombing, I forgot how ever consuming that the TV would be. Again, I fell into a deep depression. In the days following, air travel was stopped. I can remember that, my Great Aunt Grace, had a hard time getting home.

My husband, our three boys and I, had just been on vacation to South Padre Island Texas the month before. Can you believe that, I havn't traveled by air since? My husband, had only once, for his Grandmother's funeral. Has September 11, 2001 effected my world? I would have to say, yes definetly. I still remember...
