'What I take from 9/11 is that when the worst happens, we can come together and be our best.'
A slew of powerful tributes were shared on Wednesday to mark the 18th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 people and injured thousands.
"She sounded…different. I immediately knew something was wrong," Yearwood wrote about the phone call."She said, 'We’re being attacked.' She was crying and frantic, and worried that the west coast was next."She explained that her then-partner, who would become her husband, Garth Brooks, was in New York City at the time.
Unable to process the events, she made arrangements to get home to Nashville."We were all in shock and just really didn’t understand what was happening and why someone would do this," she continued.
