| Brussels Airport after bomb attack |
When the 9/11 attacks occurred, my husband and I still lived in Alexandria. The Pentagon attack hit close to home -- fewer than ten miles away. And Larry worked there for years before taking a job at Quantico in Fredericksburg. He could have been among the casualties.
We talked occasionally about where we wanted to retire, but, the truth is we are slow movers, especially my husband whose family lived for several generations in one place. I expected we would stay in Alexandria forever.
