The five-year anniversary of 9/11 has arrived. Care to share your stories? I'll start with mine.
I was in fifth grade, and we already had a half day scheduled. They didn't tell us what had happened. There didn't even seem to be tension in the school, or maybe I just didn't notice it. I remember walking around the perimeter of my schoolyard during recess, and randomly, I began to sing the "Mishaberach" to myself, which is a song we sing in Temple praying for the healing of mind and spirit. When I got home, my mom was still in her exercise wear, squatting right in front of the TV, licking peanut butter off a spoon. I laughed and joked, "Oh, now you like watching TV, huh?" (She always picked on me for watching too much TV at that time.) She calmly told me no and explained what had happened. That afternoon, as I went around the neighborhood for our school fundraiser, I predicted that everyone would be watching it on TV. And, of course, they were. I just find it creepy that I had a sudden urge to sing the "Mishaberach" even though I didn't know what had happened. What's your story? |

5th grade. I was sitting in my class room when I got a call down to the office. My mom was in the office and she was crying when one of my techers pulled us both in to her office so that my mom wouldent get everyone up set. I wasent paying any attention to my teacher when she was talking to the both of us I was focused on my mother crying her eyes out. I thought my dad died or somthing. I didn't understand at all what was going on. Then my mother said " Lori might be dead and we have to get home as fast as posable. So, we booked it home before anyone else got out. My mother was the first one there. We got home just in time to see the second plane hit. That was one of the most scaryest thing I have ever seen in my life. Its even scary to hear about or to think about right now.
