I was at work, I'm a nurse in One Day Surgery, many patients had tvs on and we heard the news as soon as it was on tv.
We all continued working but had our eyes on the tv, The whole department became incredibly quiet
I worried about both my kids who were in school at the time.
I remember feeling vulnerable, and very frightened with what was going on in our country.
I remember praying intermittently for all the people and their families.
Last year I did a mosaic 2 page lay out in honor of 9-11, it is one of my favorite projects
