my father had been up for a visit, I took him to the airport that morning for his flight home

when I got back, I didn't turn TV on, for I don't like TV and it was a relief to have the house quiet

he called soon after, grounded and at the airport, telling me what had happened and would I come right away to pick him

got to our airport just before the closed it down

he was standing there waiting, with an armed security guard at his side

I rushed out of the car into his arms

and began to sob

it's not that I thought he was in danger

for it hit me at that moment that everyone one of those people killed had started the morning just as my father had - expecting a normal day

we drove home in silence, listening to the radio

really didn't talk much the rest of they day - just watching the horror unfold on tv

I believe it was over a week before he could catch a flight home
