Now I understand how we as humans can vividly remember a tragedy like September 11,2001. I was up before 6:30 a.m. because I had to drop my eldest child off at school. I came home and I was preparing breakfast for my other two children when my younger sister called and asked if I was watching television. I replied, "no, I usually don't watch television in the morning." She started crying and saying how terrible it was what was happening, I thought she was getting a bit carried away, that she was just being emotional, until I turned the television on and saw what had happened. It was absolutely terrifying. I usually try to compose myself so I won't over react for my childrens sake, but all I could do was cry. What a horrible thing that those terrorists did. The innocent people of all races that perished that day, wait let me rephrase that, that were murdered that day! A few weeks prior to this day all I could think about was me and my husbands trip to Hawaii that we had planned to take place on September 15, 2001, now it wasn't even a thought.
