I was just waking up in Albuquerque. I moved there from NY about 18 months earlier.
The alarm clock radio was usually set for music but that morning, instead of music, it was Tom Brokaw saying a plane had hit the towers.
I ran downstairs to turn on TV and witnessed the horror of the second plane hitting.
All of my family and friends were still in NY. I could not reach anyone for hours. By the end of the day I learned everyone was okay.
The images are burned on my brain.
I cried for days.
