I had just left the hospital 5days before giving birth to 2nd child.I had a girl however,because of my condition I opted for a c-section.I could barely move when the phone rang ,it was my best Emily.She said Brenda turn on the t.v. a plane just flew into world trade bldg.I struggled to the t.v. just in time to witness the 2nd attack.I felt my heart go to my throat as if I was in limbo another land.My ten year old son was at school,would Isee him again?My fiance had just come through the door I told him go get Austin they might bomb the schools.About 3 minutes later he left.Now barely able to stand thoughts of losing my family crossed my mind.A few hours seemed like 2 weeks.No phones,no communication.Everytime that day is about to come I remember it as -the day the earth stood still.God bless this contry because all of us were affected.
