Kids off to school, FOX news in the background, chatting on phone with my sister. We witnessed the horror together although hundreds of miles apart. Called my husband at work in Dallas and told him to come home then retrieved all my kids from their various schools ASAP. Sat outside and listened to the dead silence. No planes overhead heading to DFW. Skies were empty yet it was a stunningly gorgeous day. Surreal.
Sureal is the best adjective for that day. Clear blue cloudless calm day with death and destruction leaving a bloddy wound in the picture.
