Hello my name is Angela Rhodes,
On the morning of Sept.11th which was my 20th Birthday I awoke and went up stairs were my mother in law sat watching the news. There are not words to express what i saw that day. There are not words to express the hurt and the pain for those who where so wrongly ripped away from their loved ones. There are not words to express the fear that i felt for my family and loved ones that something might happen to them. I was also 8 Months pregnant to think that children were amoung those who died was very hard to swallow. And to those who think that because not every one was affected by this because it didn't hit close to every one your wrong.The most painfull thing for me to see on the news is everybody running away when the wtc came tumbling down, for me when i saw that, thats when the reality of what was happening hit me.This may not affect every one the same, but those who are very passionate and caring can feel the hurt in the tears that we see you cry and it's only human to cry to when you think about what it would do to you for someone so close to suddenly be completely out of reach and not be able to do anything about it. I did not lose any loved ones in this horrible act of the terrorist but i do feel pain for all those who lost a loved one.
There is one thing that i would like to say in addition to my story. We should not ask why god why he wasn't there ,We should ask ourselves why we pushed him away.
