sept 11
| I know we all remember where we were 6 years ago. I have my memories of that day as well. There is a certain place on the highway here, I know the exact spot, that I found out the plane had hit the pentagon. I dialed my phone as quickly as I could knowing my dad was scheduled to be working at the pentagon sometime around then. My folks live 8 hours away and though I talk to my mom all the time, in that moment I couldn't remember just when he was supposed to be there. As soon as I heard her voice say "Hello" I said "where is dad?" She said he is right here and we both started crying. She said he wasn't supposed to work there until the next week. He works for Computer Science Corporation in Security and he frequented the pentagon until that time. I will never for get the relief I felt when I found out he was at home with her. I was on my way to an appointment for the sales job I had at the time. I met several other people there, we were all in shock as was the rest of the country. That day, I found out my father was fine when I made that phone call. I can't help but think of the hundreds of people who made the same phone calls that didn't receive the same information. I take time every year on Sept 11 to pray for them. I got to go on, my life didn't change too much. Theirs will always be altered- forever changed. |
