i had just put my children on the school bus that morning and returned home in time to see the second plane hit the tower. i stood in disbeleif and sat down and cried. i called my mother to see if she was ok then called the rest of my family members. my husband called home from work and asked me if it was true and we cried together on the phone my children came home from school and we all held on to one another and cried some more. we had a friend whos daughter was living in upper manhatten and we called them to make sure she was alright when they said they finily got ahold of her we all hit our knees and thanked god that she was fine and praised him for keeping her safe. i just returned home from the schools where my children attend with a closeness from the teachers and the love they have for our children. i want to let the soviours know that i am praying for them and their families as we all go through the tradgy that we have endured thank you for your time jbb dittmer mo
