Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was at home getting ready to attend a meeting in Jersey City, New Jersey, when my son Daniel came running upstairs to tell me that a plane just crashed into the World Trade Center. My first reaction was pilot error, then I thought no on is that off on take off or landing. When the second plane hit the other tower then a sick feeling came over me.I rushed to the school where my children were and took them from school.We all needed to be together. My older daughter Melissa was at college. We called and asked if she wanted to come home and she said that everything was ok and that she was going to stay and see what happens. We had a few friends that worked in the buildings, they all made it home safe to be with there family's. They are all very lucky. My heart goes out to all the people that lost there life and there family. This is something that i've not been able to get over. Our life can be over just that fast. Life is to short to spend it on regret. I tell myself that everyday. I have a quote that I love...it goes like this...Yesterday is the past. Tomorrow is the future. Today is a gift. That's why we call it the Present. Live each day as a gift, because we never know when it might be our last.
