5 years later....We will Never Forget

Where we were when we first heard about the attacks on the WTC. It was just after 7 am when I walked into the living room, the boys were watching "spongebob squarepants" on Nick , and I noticed the light flashing on the phone meaning I had a voice mail. Much to my shock, I had several, first one from my mom in CA, she was asking me if I was around , where was I, why didnt I pick up the phone? ( my first thought was, 'mom, its a Voicemail, I cant hear you' )... I deleted that message, then My next one was from my sister Shelly, her message was a bit more disturbing, " Tami, where are you? Are you watching TV? the whole world is blowing up around us, At least that is what it seems like, call me" .. At this point I hung up the phone and told the boys to put on channel 5 , they did, and I wasnt sure what I was seeing... I just sat there on the couch and watched in shock, the boys were asking what was going on, where this was, ect.. I didnt even know what to say. I then called Scott at work, (something you just dont do) and asked him what was going on..That was when I first heard his name, 'Bin Laden'. Now, I may have heard his name before, But It didnt click, I had no clue who this monster was, but after hearing the way Scott said it, ( he added a few colorful words to his name) I never forgot it. I had to take the boys to school, I remember the drive with Alec, he was in 7th grade, and we listened to the radio on the way.. when he got out we told each other we love you.. it was a strange feeling, letting your children go that morning. After Brett and Jake got on the bus, I just sat in front of the TV and cried all day ( I didnt have to work), Thankful that everyone I knew and loved were safe....
