Anyone five-years old or older way back on November 22, 1963 can remember the day John Kennedy was assassinated. The same can be said of September 11, 2001. I was in the process of feeding my infant and toddler breakfast because we were getting ready for the infant's four-month check-up. I had Sesame Street on in the kitchen entertaining my two-year when my husband called. He told me to turn on the TV, so I went into another room and did just that.
I will never forget what I saw that morning and how for the first few seconds it seemed surreal, like I was watching a movie. This couldn't really be happening, I thought. And then reality kicked in at the realization that it was indeed happening and thousands of people died when that plane hit the building. I thought it was a tragic accident, but when the second plane hit, it was clear that what had happened wasn't an accident, but terrorism.
Such a sad day in our history, and one we will never forget. What are your memories regarding that day?
Thanks for visiting and have a great week!

I was visiting my parents. What should have been an ordinary day went in a completely different direction.
@William: So true. Everybody's day went into a completely different direction that day.
I was watching the Today show while getting ready to go to the library. My son had just left for work.
@Norma: No matter what we were doing, we remember it so clearly.
