Ever. Our jobs changed to 24 hour jobs (as if they weren't already, now they were filled with inspections and rifle ranges and on and on) ... I got pregnant and missed being deployed by that week I found out. My husband went... and has been to Iraq twice - there for the third time as I write this. But no longer my husband. This day changed so many things in so many ways... thank you for writing about it. My son will never know that day but his life has changed since that day... <BR/><BR/>Bless you as you continue to write!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071325401287875015.post-12130199900458621322008-05-08T20:14:00.000-04:002008-05-08T20:14:00.000-04:00how weird to have been in a 'lockdown'.

I was living outside of the country at the time - & though I wasn't planning on traveling - it was bizarre to hear that NO plane was allowed in the air. I just sat & cried that day - and the next day found out I was pregnant with my first - crazy stuffTracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13951233482045074523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071325401287875015.post-45412237152821439802008-05-07T00:13:00.000-04:002008-05-07T00:13:00.000-04:00Laurie, this is such a moving post.

Here we feel disjointed and far away and therefore "safe" - I guess everyone feels safe until it happens to them. I still remember hearing and not understanding what was really happening and seeing the pictures on the television of the planes and the aftermath. <BR/><BR/>I can't understand what drives people to do such things.Jocastahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862127464888477632noreply@blogger.com
