I HAD JUST GOTTEN HOME FROM TAKING MY SON TO SCHOOL. THEN I TURNED ON THE TV TO WATCH SOME GOOD MORRING AMERICA WHEN THEY BROK IN WITH A SPECIAL NEWS REPORT. MY BOYFRIEND WAS A TRUCK DRIVER AT THE TIME SO I FELT I HAD TO CALL HIM TO LET HIM KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. I WAS ON THE PHONE WHEN THE SECOND PLANE HIT THE SOUTH TOWER. I COULD NOT BELIVE MY EYES. THEN THE TOWER FELL. AS I WATCHED IN HORROR, TEARS STREAMED DOWN MY FACE I COULD SAY NOTHING, THE PHONE FELL FROM MY HANDS, ALL I COULD REMBER WAS THE FELLING OF TOTAL FEAR. NOT ONLY FOR MY SELF BUT FOR ALL THOUSE THAT WERE THEIR AT THAT TIME. I THEN GOT OUT MY BIBLE AND READ PSALMS 23 AND 24. TRYING TO FIND SOME ANSWER. I THEN CALLED THE SCHOOL TO MAKE SURE MY KID WAS OK. I ALSO CALLED LOVED ONES THAT LIVED IN FLINT MICHIGAN, JUST TO TELL THEM THAT I LOVED THEM. I HAVE WANTED TO TELL THE FAMILES THAT "I CANT EVEN THINK OF SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOU BUT MY IS BRAKING FOR YOU." AS I SAY THAT MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND THE COUNTRY THAT WE ALL SHARE AND LIVE IN.
