On September 11th ,2001 I was at work in a nursery school and had watched as the media panned in on the first tower. I think in my heart I knew we were under attack as I saw the second plane curve and hit the second tower. I started to cry then I gathered the children around me. I tried to keep focused on my job but then the towers began to crumble, as they did I grabbed the phone and called my mother. I thought it may be my last chance to tell her how much I loved her. She calmed me down and then reports began to come about the flight headed to the pentagon. I guess thats when I really lost control. Never in my life have I felt such panic and terror at once. I couldn't move from in front of the T.V. as more coverage came through. I wanted to leave and be with my family for support and to support them as well.
I have asked God WHY??? I know he has his reasons and some of which I will never know. I am glad things didn't come to nuclear that day and hope for our children and granchildren we can someday ALL live in peaceful times. I hope these terrorist can face their God with the same concious I can. I was brought up to respect the TEN COMMANDMENTS and know they are just that COMMANDMENTS not choices!!!!!!! TERESA
