I was not at the World Trade Center or any of the other site's. I was at home watching T.V. and when it came across I went numb, I could not move, it felt as though every emotion in my body was frozen. Then it hit me and I began to cry uncontrollabe, the sorrow I felt for everyone. At first for all the families who had lost Loved ones, them for all American's,Because I thought if I felt this way, every person in America would also. It wasn't just that day but from that day forward, evertime I think about it or I see something on T.V. or hear a certain song, I alway's begen to cry, like right now just thinking about it.I feel as thought I am a child again with no power to do anything. I have never felt this way about anything in my life. This has brought me to my knees, I just feel useless. I hate that other people who don't even know us, can judge our country and be able to do this kind of thing to innocent people. I don't feel I'll ever feel as safe as I once did. God Bless Us All.
