911DA Story: Story
I was watching the Today Show when the planes hit the WTC.
When the first one hit I knew somehow that it was not an accident. My mind wouldn't really allow me to believe it but the crude reality soon set in. The hardest thing to deal with is the knowledge that so many children are now without a parent, or maybe even two parents. It is so hard to believe that it could be so painful to us as Americans, and such a source of delight to those who perpetrated this horrible act. The reality of life is that all people do not see truth and justice and concern for others in the same way. I now know that most of the people that experienced this great lose personally will survive and possibly even flourish due to their experience. But there are the ones that will never recover and may find it too hard to carry on. I believe that our prayers should be fervently prayed for them. Life is hard enough without the senseless, cruel loss of a loved one in such a horrible way. I will continue to pray for the families and for this great nation, AMERICA!!!
