Congratulations on your win. I'll say unbelieving eyes, I remember standing in the library of our hospital with all Senior Mgment watching in utter pain, the towers fall. The world mourned with you. Take care Lee

Andrea, there was definitely a sense of disbelief that such a tragedy could occur on American soil and the despair continued as people searched for loved ones, clinging to hope in the aftermath. Congratulations on your win! There were many great entries, so take pride in your achievement. Love, Carolyn

Yes we all felt that disorentation i think Andrea, that and in my case many insights passages of scripture and a great sobering of my character...a sad sad day..

Ten years later and it's still not real. How can we imagine just how we feel. The evil inside of our fellow man. Leaves us to deal with what ever we can.
