At the moment of the attack I was driving my 3 year old to
preschool. I had just put my 7 year old on the bus, and
was calculating my grocery list in my mind. I heard over the
radio about the first plane crash, then they
informed us of the second plane. This was a joke! Wasn't it?
The DJ's are real pranksters, wasn't sure if this was one
of their sick jokes. I then heard them say that this was
no joke, it was actually happening, America
was under attack.

I was shocked! I placed my hand on my belly and cried. You
see, I was 9+ months pregnant and was to be induced the
next morning. I was frightened to bring this child into this
scary world. How will I be able to protect this small
innocent child.

11 hours after the first plane hit the World Trade Center,
my 8lb. 10 oz. angel was born, Eric William. To this day, he
has proven time & again he is our angel. I am truely blessed!

God Bless America!!!!
My heart goes out to all those who have lost a loved one in
NY, PA, or Washington, D.C.
