On September 11,2001 I had just got home from taking my son to school. I sat in the drive way talking on my cell phone to my friend. My husband is in entertainment and he was out of town. I turned on the tv like I do each morning I get back home to see the second tower being hit. You know I look at the tv thinking what is this. Then I said on lord the is real that say live. My soul hurt for all of the life I knew was gone. I cried for the pain of the families that I did not know. But you know what it hurt just like it did when my brother in law was shot and killed at the hands of his own brother. So I ran to the phone to call my husband and could not get him on the phone. By that time my phone was off the hook ringing. Before I could get off of the phone with one person someone else was calling. The thing to do for me was pray for peace for all. My husband was in Canada, they closed the border so my husband could not get home that day. It took weeks to pull my husband and my self away from the tv, and months to sleep for more than a few hour at a time. With time God heals all pain. One thing good happend on that day a good friend of ours brother was late for work that day and he worked in WTC on Sunday in church we got that wonderful news.

Gods Peace to you all,
Tamiko
