I have to first say that even though I lost no one on that dreadfull day. I lost a lot of fellow men and women like my self just trying to do their part as a member of this great nation. I was unresponsive for a while after I saw the plains hit and I realised that I was not watching a movie and that this was for real. I saw the plain hit and my heart just broke in two. Being a mother of three all I could think about was getting to my children and holding them close.I cried for days and keep my children home for a while right next to me. I tried to explain to them what was going on and that we were going to be safe. All the while I was praying for that to be true. I have seen some things in my life but this will never let go of me. It is one year later and I still fear for my childern when I send them out the door to get on the bus. I am more aware of who my childern ride on the bus with! I am more aware of who my neighbors are! I hate to have to get on a plain. I do not think anyone will ever forget that day. I pray for all the familys of those who were lost and thank those who helped save those who could be found. MAY GOD BLESS THIS NATION! I LOVE ALL MY FELLOW AMERICANS AND PEACE BE WITH YOU!!
