Thanks for posting this.

My 9/11 memories will always be tied up with memories of my mother. She was on hospice care and died in my home in Great Falls, MT on 9/2/2001, her 70th birthday. My boss insisted I take 2 weeks off after her death to process everything and grieve so I was at home on 9/11.

I’d had trouble sleeping and was asleep when my phone rang. My sister in Sacramento was on the phone crying and said “Get up and turn on the TV.” When I asked what channel, she said “Any channel” and hung up. As soon as I saw the news I picked up the phone to call my mom......only to remember....

So sad. I’m sorry.

Yeah, when they say “any channel” that is not good.
