I had actually stayed home from school that day to go with my mom to the doctor. She was in her room and I was in mine. Probably playing with toys or something. All of the sudden I heard her screaming for me to come look. So I came running because I thought it was gonna be something cool or exciting on the news. I couldn't have been more wrong. I came in and saw her standing in front of the TV, open eyed and mouth wide open. I asked her what just happened and she tried explaining to me what happened the best she could without crying.
Then the second plane hit.
After the second plane, she turned off the TV and we went to her doctors office. Which is less than a mile from Tampa International Airport. The waiting room was full of people, yet not a single word was said. We just watched the news and listened to planes landing every 30 seconds because of the presidents orders.
These two pictures will forever be burned into my brain.
