I was at home flipping channels for my 2 yr old at home. I saw a building with smoke coming out of it so I stopped to watch. As I sat down to get confortable I saw the second plane hit the second tower. I thought to myself what an accident. As I listened I was shocked to hear what they were saying. I grabbed my little girl and started crying for everyone who was on the planes, who was working at the twin towers and for the family of all those lost to such a terrible act of violence. I instantly called my boyfriend to make sure he was alright. I was scared for everyone. I then went to pick up my kids from school. I came home and heard of the pentagon. I thought this is it. We are all going to die. I called all my family and told them I loved them. In case I never had a chance to do it again. My kids kept asking why? All I could tell them was that their are some mean people out there that do very mean things. That day I realized that what we have here today may be gone the next minute. I now tell my kids I love them even more. And if my fiancee(then my boyfriend) wants the remote I'll let him have it. There's no reason to fight over little things. And my mother, I call her every night and let her know I love her.
