On September 11, 2001 I was at home after having a miscarriage three days earlier. I have never felt such desolation and despair. As I watched the news program and saw the second plane hit the Towers I could not believe what I was seeing. I was in a state of shock. I stayed that way for about two hours and then I started to cry. I cried for the people who lost thier lives, I cried for the families, I cried for myself and I cried for our nation. My children didn't understand the depth of what was happening until thier father told them he would have to leave. He is in the Navy. We tried to comprehend the type of hatred that would precipitate this cowardly and dispicable action but still today we can not understand. So know that are prayers are still with those families and with our nation.
