9/11

I've been watching the documentary today about it. Crazy it's already been 12years. I was only 11 when it happened. It makes me think when my daughter is older she's gonna be asking me what happened.

As a military daughter and now wife, this day always hits home.  I remember exactly what I was doing,  my mother's reaction, etc. It was difficult to come home from school that day because the base was on locked down.  My mom had to come get me from the base gateso I could come home.  I lived in an hour from DC. I remember family members calling us just praying that my family and i were okay. Just praying that we would answer the phone.

I was in 5th grade... As soon as I made it to homeroom my teacher Mr. Armando turned the lights off in class and turned the TV on and explained to us what was happening.... After that day my mom didn't send us to school for a week because supposedly there was a threat on schools but none knew which one... I couldn't even go on my 5th grade calling trip because my Mon was afraid something would happen to us. I remember it like yesterday especially the impact that it had on my life.

Yeah I remember kids being pulled out of school all day. The skies were silent and no planes were allowed to fly and I remember seeing a military jet fly across and freaking out

I know right? It's weird to think that we will have to explain that to our children. They are gonna think that we are so old lol
