I know it's nearly a week late, but get over it.
9-11-2001
1. Where were you when you first heard about the events of 9-11?
I was homeschooled in 2001, so I was taking a shower, and Jacob ran into the bathroom telling me an airplane had just crashed into the WTC. I didn't believe him, but then after 5 or so minutes, he ran back in and said another plane crashed itno the WTC. He also said a plane crashed into the White House, so I thought he was being terribly ridiculous. When I got out though, mum and Jacob were all sitting around, watching the news on the TV, but everything was just so oddly quiet.
2. Did you know anyone who was on one of the flights - or was a relative?
No, I'm very blessed when it comes to that.
3. How has the tragic events changed your life - or your attitude in life?
Honestly, I don't really think it changed a whole lot for me. Yes, it's impacted my life, but more in little ways b/c I do feel very aware that life could end at any day, but it doesn't really scare me. I suppose I just make the most of life.
4. Have you visited any of the attack sites/memorials?
Allie, her dad, and I visited NYC a few days before the Christmas of 2001, so everything was still so surreal. We walked around the remains of the WTC, and added a note on a quilt that was draped over a memorial. I took a couple photos, but for the most part everything seemed so reverant.
