Where were you when you heard the first plane hit on 9-11?

97. At home worrying about a grandson who had just gone into surgery for a heart problem.

Within minutes, I received a call from a friend that the plane had hit the first building, then the second plane hit. I rarely watched TV during the day and certainly wasn't on that day, as my daughter and sil were at the university hospital concerned about their son. A call for a successful outcome to the surgery was my top priority. Since they were in contact with the surgical team, they left to donate blood, but the line was so long, they returned to the surgical waiting room. The surgery took much longer than predicted, so there was much worry from us all.

The surgery was a success and we had much relief on that problem, but the horrible attack certainly got our attention later on. I recall staying up nearly the entire night watching coverage in fear for the rest of the country and wondering what was ahead for us all.

Now, our attention is riveted toward Sept. 18th.
