💔Today, we remember September 11.💔
Where were you when you heard the news?
At the time, I was a preschool teacher in France. It was around 3:00 PM. The school day was filled with laughter, and the children were outside enjoying recess. While they played, a couple of teachers gathered in the staff room, where the radio was always on in the background.
Suddenly, a colleague came rushing in. There was confusion and disbelief. The Twin Towers in New York had been hit.
Was it an accident? An attack? No one knew.
Even though New York was thousands of miles away, we immediately felt connected to the tragedy. Our hearts went out to the people affected. Recess ended, and we returned to our classrooms. We did our best not to show our fear to the children, but a sense of uncertainty had settled over the world.
Parents began arriving early to pick up their children. There was fear, concern, and a feeling that nowhere seemed completely safe anymore. Police officers were present outside the school to help reassure families.
When I returned home that evening, the television showed the same heartbreaking images over and over, just as they did here in the United States. It was impossible to look away.
It was a day that changed the world forever.
Even 25 years later, people across the globe still remember exactly where they were and how they felt when they heard the news.
Today, we honor the lives that were lost, the families forever changed, and the courage of the first responders who ran toward danger to help others.
🙏 Never forget.
🕊️ Always remember.
❤️ Honor the lives lost.
🇺🇸 God bless America.
