Where were you ?

[Queenie]

My office was in a bank building and they had a break room with a TV in the basement. I would go down daily at a certain time and take a break. I was astonished and shocked at what was happening. I can remember going outside to see if I saw any planes flying in our area, then going inside and telling my partner. We went down stairs and tried to squeeze into the already crowded break room. At lunch I went to Church and prayed. I remember having a conversation with my Pastor to the effect that I thought it was the end of the world, but for the first time I was not afraid. I went back to work and left early so I could get home before my kids got home. I wanted to be there to answer any questions they might have (as if I had the answers), and to calm them.

The week after, I had to fly to Charleston, SC for a property inspection. My parents and kids were scared for me to go, but I really wasn't. Airport security was hell, but all in all, the trip wasn't that different than any other one I took every month. I was glad to get back home and see my family.
