๐บ๐ธ Never forget. I was in Red Oak, Texas eating cereal at home, getting ready for school, watching whatever channel Katie Couric was on. Brandon and I had been married 3 months. I saw the footage of the first plane and no one knew what to think, nothing was confirmed. Then the second plane hit (on what I think was live tv), and Katie speculated a terrorist attack. I didn't know at the time a close friend was in the Pentagon, but I cried for all of those people. I had nightmares for months, dreaming about those who had jumped. I was glued to the tv for days. I mourned for our country, for our world. Remembering all of the lives lost, all of the people who responded to help, defend, and protect.
