I was at home with my two small children on this horrific Tuesday morning. Watching with disbelieve, I prayed that this was only a terrible dream. I was completely in awe. What does this mean for our nation's future and it's children? What have we done to provoke someone to attack us in such an unthinkable manner. I knew at that moment that our country would pull together as one big family and work together to help each other cope with this tragedy. There is no doubt that 9/11 has changed our nation forever. Unfortunately, it takes a tragic event to wake our nation up and pull us back together as brothers and sisters under God. Everyday, I thank God that I am able to enjoy my children. And I remind myself that there are parents that have lost thier chldren on this day. I cannot image the feeling of losing children, parents, siblings or friends to such sensless death. I am even more proud to be American now for the fact that we are even stronger than before. Our leader has risen to the challenge and our military has placed thier lives on the line to bring the terrorist to justice. And especially, the rescue workers
that aided our injured, guided others to safety and searched for the missing. The rest of the nation gave blood, money, food and so much more to releive all that were directly affected. This is what America is all about.
We are undistructable and always will be. And I hope they all of us will relay to our children that "Love" conquers all. And instill in our children old fashion morales that they can grow with and in turn teach thier children. Our children are our future.

I continue to pray for the victoms families and our nation. May God ease the pain through time and fond memories and help us to forgive those that have hurt us.
