My day began as normal as normal could be. I got my three beautiful boys ready for school. They had a hard time of getting up and getting ready. I made them breakfast and took them to school. When I returned I made myself some breakfast and put a load of clothes in the washing machine. I turned on the television and turned it off immediatley. To check and see if something was wrong with my television, and to my surprise there was nothing wrong with it. I was absolutely horrified and screaming "WHY", I called my mother at her work and she was also watching in horror. We cried together and screamed as we watched the second tower being hit. I then called my Mamaw and Papaw and they too were in shock. I tuned in to CNN and watched as both of the towers fell and told myself I hope those evil men who took over the planes died a very painful and excruciating death. I went and picked up my children from school and held them like I've never held them before. Then came the news about the Pentagon. Then the news about the other plane. I prayed to God to forgive them but my heart could'nt. They took away friends, families and most of all, "Our Future".
Where were you when the world stopped turning?
