Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I just picked up my best friend, we were to go shopping. She told me the world trade center was bombed. I didn't believe her, so I turned on the car radio and was stunned with the news that a plane had crashed into one of the towers. In the time it took us to get to the mall, another plane had crashed into the second tower. I really belived the first was an accident, but the second really shocked me. I can't remember what store we were in, but everyone was staring at the televisons. I don't think we even shopped, we just left for home. I hadn't felt that sick since my daughter was murdered in 1994. So helpless and speachless. My friend is always more nervous and frightened by things than I am, so I just kept calm, so she wouldn't get upset. It seems very strange, we still wanted to shop, but lost the "desire", and without saying anything we just knew we needed to go home. The days following for me, where sad, but I didn't have any fears. My faith in God and this country, and our government I guess helped me. No matter how much we do to secure our families and our nation, if someone REALLY want's to hurt us, they will find a way. So continue to have faith that our leaders will do all that can be done to protect us. I did as President Bush urged us to do - keep living my life to the best of my ability. Do the things I normally do. I've since moved to Kansa, and feel safer than I did in Florida. My husband and I are pursuing our dream - starting a vinyard/winery.
