911DA Story: Story

I was getting my son ready for school and tending to my other son (2 years old) when I glances over at the television to see that the first plane had hit. I don't think I took my eyes off the television for quite some time after that. Then entire morning was spent watching (on and off) in horror what those terrorists did to our great country. So many lives lost - for what. I pray that whoever is responsible for this act is brought to justice. I have a who lives right outside New York City and he went to ground zero a couple days after the bombing and tried to explain to me what he saw. He was extremely upset and said that we had no concept of what it actually looked like. I pray every day for the families of those who died and wish them well. We live in a strong country and hopefully this will help us heal. God Bless The USA and all that live here!
