It was September 11, 2001....



A regular day on my schedule... I had decided that day that I wanted to listen to a CD instead of the usual news on the radio on my way to work. Half way there I decided to see what Eric and Kathy ( a Chicago Morning RADIO show) was joking about today. And I heard about it... the first plane had already crashed on the first building! I was almost at work so decided to keep driving there, when I got there it was on all the TVs at work. I am looking at the TV when the second airplane crashes on the second building... I was in shock, I was sure that this was the last day of us on earth. I got in my car and drove as fast as I could to home. It usually takes me about 15 mins to get there but this time I was there in about 8 mins, I think GOD was watching me since all the damn traffic lights were green for the first time in 4 years. I got home and put my PJs on and went to bed crying.... I lay next to dh and cried as low as I could so I would not to wake hubby up. Of course he woke up, I explained him what happen and how I was pretty sure this was the last day of our life....... and he agreed the way we wanted to spend the last day of our life was to be next to each other in our bed hugging each other. [ohhhh crap I am crying like a baby right now...uffff] We finally woke up very late that morning and tried to stay as close as each other as we could, the day was not over and either it was our fear to die. The only thing that kept us going that day is that we were happy we had spent our lives together so far.
