It was 11 years ago today, my day off from working at the salon, I had woken up early just as I normally do, laying in bed contemplating my plans for the day when I switched on the television to see the weather forecast. I sat in horrified silence at the images I was viewing on the screen. At first I thought a tragic plane crash....until the next plane crash came into view. I knew it was something much larger and even more terrifying.
And there I sat. In my pajamas, all day, unable to pull myself away from the TV.
On my trip to NYC last month, I visited the 9-11 Memorial site.
To all the families & friends who've lost loved ones in 9-11, they will always be remembered. I will never forget and when my kids are old enough to better understand, they too, will never forget the thousands who perished on this day.

The main building of the new World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan in New York City and will be a 104-story skyscraper. It sits where the original 6 World Trade Center once stood - in the northwest corner of the 16-acre World Trade Center site.
Construction crews began work more than six years ago, and it was given its official name - One World Trade Center - in 2009.
The tower will be the third-tallest building in the world - the tallest in the Western Hemisphere.

I remember this just like it was yesterday.
