I forgot that I have tapes, too. I usually just watch the Fox special then the coverage the morning of 9/11 (before work). I cry every year, too. I’ll never forget that day. I was on my computer with FNC on in the background, having coffee, just like every morning and then it started. I called my mother and then my sister to let them know, but I think I also wanted to make sure they were OK, even though we were a couple thousand miles away. Of course, early on, we didn’t know where the Islamic terrorists were going to hit next - we have military bases in about 4 locations, not far from the Seattle area.
I’d only been asleep a couple of hours when my hubby woke me up saying, “I think we’re at war.” I had no idea what he was talking about as I stumbled out here to look at the tv. When I saw what was going on, I grabbed the remote and started recording.
I didn’t sleep again for another two days.
