I hadn't started back to work and was I was watching t.v. Bryant Gumbal was showing pictures of the World Trade Center and was telling of how a plane had hit it. I watched in horror, absolute horror as the second plane appeared on my television screen and you knew that it was going to hit the building and it was not an accident. When it hit I sat there stunned, I coulnd't move and I could barely breathe. I sat there praying and crying hoping that people would get out. When the building collapsed all I could do was pray.
Then our family started calling a cousin in New Jersey who was there for a job interview. It was a long day waiting for him to finally call us back. A part of me died that day but I started feeling better hearing about babies born on 9/ll. My grandmother always said that a baby was a sign that God hadn't given up on the world.
