i was at work loading my package cars when one of my drivers came in and told me a plane crashed into one of the towers. i dismissed it as a wayward cessna and didnt think much about it until i got in the car. i listen to sports radio so when i turned it on to hear peter jennings voice and not the normal hosts i thought this was slightly more serious. i had driven all the way to the mall that i deliver at and i had grown more and more confused by the reports i was hearing. peter jennings was on tv so he was not being as descriptive for the radio listener and in my head this was still a cessna. i called my wife and had her turn on the tv to tell me (also so she could call her sister who lives just south of where the towers were) and she gave me the awful truth of it. i heard peter tell me i just didnt want to belive him. watching the rest from radio shack just made me sick to my stomach and i had a really hard time working that day. we didnt find out about my wifes sister until 10:30 that night.

i just watched the hbo memorial and for the first time my son (who is 3) could understand something horrible was happening on the tv. a horrible day that none of us should ever forget. the 12 hours we went without knowing the status of our loved one was gut wrenching, but we got a phone call from her. thousands of americans never got that phone call. we cannot forget that.
