I was doing a safety training for a company and while I was doing the training my cell started to vibrate, I didn't think nothing of it until it went off again and again which was telling me that something was wrong either with family or I had a customer that needed me really bad.
So after the training I went to my vehicle and looked at who was calling me and it was my brother, so I called him back and he advised me that the towers where hit by terroists. I said no way and he advised me that we were meeting at my parents home, when I arrived at the house and walked in and saw it on tv I knew at that time he was not joking and I got this really empty and sick filling in my stomach. The first thing I thought was my dear lord please be with all these innocent people and their families and then I said a prayer for my daughter who is serving in the US NAVY on the USS PEARL HARBOR and my nephew who is in the US ARMY.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!
