I will never forget where I was!
I was driving to college classes and I was listening over n over again Charlie Daniels song “Simple Man” on cd. I was jamming to it so I was not aware that anything had happend and people were looking at me as I was bobbing my head to music ??????????? I didn’t know!
You know that “eerie” feeling you get when you enter a room knowing something isn’t right? Well it’s the feeling I got once I turned the corner to walk into the cafeteria. There people all over stopping and watching as the first tower was hit! Then we seen the 2nd Tower get hit!!! It was stunned silence!!!
I will never forget this short man walking down the hall LAUGHING while this was happening... he was from over there.
I turned and started to class...then The Pentagon got hit! THAT IS when I and the rest stated “this isn’t an accident!”.
I sat down just numb from what we were seeing. The teacher said “ I know this mornings events were terrible, but life goes on!” Let’s begin... I stood up and said “No! Life just stopped! and I grabbed my books and a few others followed me out! Minutes later we walked into the cafeteria and what I seen will not be forgotten!
All races were sitting together, crying together, and some were even praying together!!! While we were watching tv.
Except for one culture whose to blame for this act if terrorism! Because this culture was the only ones laughing, while the rest of us were devastated.
The rest of the day was hazy...numb....it didn’t really hit home until I went to work down town at a company called Meyers Services...I was walking from where I was parked and it was soooooo quiet in the middle of the day. THATS when it hit me when Lori said we’re closed til further noticed beings that the company was owned by the Mayor of St.Cloud at the time. All government buildings were shut down.
I just started crying. Driving on Division Street just eerie silence. People’s windows half cracked and we’re all listening to the news. It literally felt like time just stopped.
So I drove home. Once I got home I just cried on the couch and watching tv and watching it unfold.
Pretty sad day for America but for the victims and their families!!!!
I bow my head in prayer today for them...for us....for America! and Americans!
