A day remembered

It seemed like only yesterday.

It was a time of living out of the country looking in.

A time of uncertainty.

I had just arrived home from the post office after sending out packages to my customers. I had left the TV on as I knew I would only be gone for a short time.  Once I arrived at my apartment and walked in, I could hear the news was on.  I thought it to be quite odd that the news was on during that time of day.

As I walked over to get in view of the TV,  they were showing the twin towers. One was burning and as I continued watching, I saw the second plane hit the other tower. I remember thinking, “man, they are way off course.”

I watched it all unfold and could not believe what I was seeing.  I knew this would have a lasting effect on us all and the end of a world as we knew it.
