Finding a Way Home in the Midst of Tragedy

I was horrified at what followed, and immediately got on the phone with my husband back in the DC area who hadn't heard the news yet. He was safe. Then I tried to reach my sister who worked at FBI Headquarters as I listened to the story unfold, and all the rumors about other potential sites in and around the metro DC area. Words can't describe my feelings and my fear for my family and friends back home as I scanned the Chicago skyline at the other potential target sites mentioned in the news reports.
