911DA Story: Story

As i watched the news with my 11 year old son, a special news report came on saying there was a fire at the World Trade Center,I watched in horror as I saw a plane coming so close to the building, I said to my son, why is that plane so close, then it hit the building and I and my son just stared in disbelief. My eyes started to well up with tears,then I thought of my family in New Jersey and started calling them, I called my husband at work, he is a Deputy with the Sheriffs Dept.in San Diego and cried.
I don't beleive anyone will be the same, all the security we once felt is gone, the innocent's of all children in the U.S.A is gone.
I find myself praying much more often then I used to, I try to greet everyone with a smile, and love a little harder.
