911DA Story: Story

The weekend prior to the 11th, I was in NYC visiting my sister with my 7 week old son. We left NYC by train at 10 am on the 10th. The next morning my husband called to see if my sister was working that day. She worked in a store on the Concourse of the WTC, and thankfully she wasn't working that day because I had come to visit.
I watched in horror the devastatation taking place in a city that is like a second home to me. I cried all day, glued to the TV. I happen to live less than 20 miles from the Pentagon, so that attack was much closer to home.
Thank God my sister didn't have to experience the horrors of that day first hand.
I pray for all the people who lost their lives, and for their loved ones. I hope they may someday find peace:)
