I WAS BABYSITTING FOR A FRIEND WHEN IT CAME ON THE TV THAT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER WAS HIT BY THE FIRST PLANE. I STARTED CRYING, I KNEW RIGHT THEN IT WAS A TERRORIST ATTACK. ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT WAS MY LITTLE GIRL,HOW MUCH I LOVED HER. SHE WAS TURNING 2 ON SEPT. 13, AND I COULDN'T THINK OF LIFE WITHOUT HER,BUT I ALSO THOUGHT TO MYSELF WHAT KINDA WORLD HAD I BROUGHT HER INTO. I WATCH THE TV FOR DAYS I COULDN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF IT!! FOR THE PAST YEAR ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT IS THE POOR CHILDREN WHO LOST A FATHER OR MOTHER ON THIS DAY.
TODAY IS SEPT. 11 AND ONCE AGAIN ALL I CAN DO IS WATCH THE TV AND HUG MY LITTLE GIRL AND MY 8WEEK OLD SON AND THANK THE LORD FOR ALL HE HAS GIVEN ME, MY FAMILY , FRIENDS AND OUR FREEDOM TO BE IN THE USA.
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS
