Where Were You?
By Nancy Lindquist | September 11, 2007
It’s the question on everyone’s lips today. Where were you? What were you doing? When the world we knew crumbled into a poisonous pile of rubble and pain, six years ago. When people made a choice between twelve hundred degree fire and ten seconds of horror in a free fall, where were you?
Wherever it was, no one will ever forget. The morning, the moment, seared in our collective memories. Anger, pain, mourning for lives we never touched. Fear for our own safety and what may be falling out of the sky into our existence.
A war now fought in a land we do not understand against an elusive enemy, by young men and women who just want to make a difference. To protect what their parents held dear before them.
So where were you, when the world, as we knew it, changed forever?

At the ddj. No TV - no internet. Someone scrounged an old radio from the back of a closet so we could listen to what was going on.

Hi babes. I was in my living room, watching…crying stunned, furious…and wishing that reality for my babies wouldn’t include this horrendous day.
Still wish it.
