Then we went to an office supply store, where over the loudspeakers, they announced the national moment of silence. Everyone in the store, including my 3-4 young children & me, stopped in their tracks and bowed their heads for a minute or two. The bindery man was bending over his computer monitor. Two clerks were hugging & sobbing.
The Old Navy store was closed over the lunch hour so their employees could attend local prayer services. I'll never forget the feelings I had that day.
Today we are generating some more memories for the bittersweet days ahead.
Your post made me a little teary.
