In the last year we've picked up some new readers (thank you very much!) and if you didn't get a chance to partipate last time, I'd like to hear your stories this year. Simply send me an email with your story and I'll run them on Friday's anniversary.

I was home watching the news, and Charlie Gibson broke into the ABC news and said, with a little chuckle in his voice, that he thought a plane had hit one of the world trade center buildings. I don't think he was laughing, but was nervous about it. Then the other plane it, and I became as horrified as the rest of the world. I couldn't leave the TV all day long, or all night. It was such a tragedy, and I think our country came together to fight the enemy.
What has happened in the eight years since?
I remember how blue the sky was that morning. And the sense of helplessness the rest of the day.
I walked into a teacher's room at school and saw the first building burning. (Her class was at PE)
Since I was picking up something, I didn't stick around to find out more. And by the time I tried, there weren't any empty classrooms to watch TV.
We had an early dismissal and I was picked up by my wife and children and went home. We left my car at school, and picked it up a couple days later.
School was cancelled for atleast the next day and we stayed home that day. My children were in middle school.
