7 Years Ago Today…

I was a senior at LaGrange College, and that Tuesday morning, I woke up to my phone ringing.  I was a little ticked off since it was a day where I had a late class, but it was my mom, so I guess it was ok.  She said “turn on your tv right now”. I said “ok, which channel”?  Her quiet reply was “It doesn’t matter“.

I turned on my tv just in time to see the 2nd WTC building get hit by a plane.  The minutes and hours that followed were like no other I had ever been through.  Classes were canceled, vigils were held.

Can you believe it has been 7 years since that horrific day?  A day that completely changed our country.

Do you remember where you were?
