What a strange morning that was for everyone world-wide, I imagine. How weird that it would happen on your birthday!! I think we all were in shock, but I never did fully process it. I live in Utah, very far away from where it happened, and it was on a bright sunny morning and I was feeling pretty good, even though I was on my way to work.

At work everyone was in tears and that’s when I realized the huge tragedy of it all. And felt the anger. But really, it was also a feeling of helplessness, what could you do, but sit and watch it all over and over again on the news. I still think I have never really processed my feelings about it – I was kind of numb all day long and for months afterward.
