Most everyone has heard the song by Alan Jackson entitled "Where Were You"... It was written about the September 11, 2001 attacks on the US. He states that "he was disturbed by the attacks and wanted to write a song. He sat bolt upright in bed in October and it hit him". Mr. Jackson did not expect to write a song that would touch so many people in so many ways. He says that "he is a simple man".
The morning of the attacks, Heather could not sleep. She had come down to the couch and was flipping through the TV channels. She had been up since about 5 am that morning. When Bill came down he caught a glimpse of the news and asked Heather what was going on. She very innocently looked at him and told him something happened in New York at some tower and it was on all the channels. Bill asked her to turn back. As he sat down and began to watch as news it was known that a plane had hit the tower, but it was assumed to be an accident. As Bill and Heather continued to watch the live news; the second plane hit the other tower. Bill and Heather watched the attacks live as our world changed forever. Jenn, Wendy and I were still sleeping. Not for long. The whole world was stunned as the events of 9/11 unfolded. The events of that day changed our world forever.

Everyday across the country peoples lives are changed forever. They lose a loved one. Whether it be an accident, illness, act of violence or old age, families are forever changed. The events of April 20, 2009 may not be as huge as 9/11. In our family and in my life this event is bigger than 9/11. Why is that? Because it happened to me. A very dear friend told me what she feels about our relationship now. She told me that she can't relate to me...she can sympathize but she does not have a clue as to what I am going through. She told me it is like a huge brick wall has been put between her and me. There is no way around it nor can we climb over it. We can talk and hear each other but we can never see one another again.
Let us never forget 9/11 and the event that changed the world forever...
