i was asleep at the time only to have my father come in and wake me up saying that the world trade center was gone. i didn't understand what he meant until i got up and watched the TV. then i spent the next few hours in complete shock, splitting time between the TV and my computer talking on another main forum i visit sorting through all the different reports of other hijackings or bombings that no one knew if they were true or not
it was the most emotional period of time in my entire life as one month earlier, on August 10, my mother had taken her own life. dealing with the emotions from that and then taking in such a monumental tragedy turned me into a virtual zombie for the next few weeks. i'm just thankful that a few months after that i left home in BC to attend SAIT here in Calgary which put my attention in another direction and gave me some focus. if i had stayed back home i don't know where i would have ended up
