How September 11th affected my life

It started out like any other day, a bright, beautiful morning. I remember driving to work and noticing how beautiful the day had begun. When I walked into my office, I knew something was wrong, everyone was sitting around the television, phones went unanswered, and no one said a word. I stopped to watch the news and realized why everyone was glued to the screen, an airplane had hit one of the world trade center …

…how could this happen? How could such a calm and beautiful day turn in to such a nightmare? As you may have already guessed, this horrid day was September 11, 2001. We have just recently past the anniversary of 9/11. As I went to work that morning, a year after the earth-shattering event, I stopped and observed that again it was a calm, serene, and beautiful day. How odd that such nightmares can begin on such beautiful days.
