On September 11, 2001, I was actually getting ready to go to the hospital to have my first child. I remember getting ready when my husband told me that a plane had hit a building. My first reaction was that it was an accident. When my husband said that another plane had hit a building, it was then that I knew it was no accident, but it still didn't come to me that it was a terrorist attack. The whole time I was at the hospital, I kept an eye on the news. By the time that I had my daughter, everything was gone. To this day, I believe that a very tragic thing happened, but by bringing a child into this world at that day, seemed to bring something positive to it. I will never forget the men and women whose lives were lost, and the men and women who helped by risking their own lives to save others. You will never be forgotten.
