Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My 3 year old daughter, Breanna, and I had just gone into the kitchen to have breakfast. I set her plate down and turned the t.v. on channel 11 (Fox News) when I saw the picture of the burning Trade Center. When I realized what had happened, I couldn't believe it. I immediately called my mother and father and told them to turn on the t.v. because "these fools had driven a plane into the World Trade Center in New York". I'll never forget that they thought I had lost my mind. They couldn't even grasp what I was telling them. I felt so completely sad. My daughter was being her usual happy 3 year old self, but I cried and tried to make things as normal for her as possible. I felt that this monstrous evil had made itself known in the world and no one would ever have a feeling of being totally safe again. I felt that they were all monsters. As the story unfolded and the Twin Towers collapsed, I felt sadness for the people who died and their families. Even living in L.A., the sadness was overwhelming. I felt like I was there. The country, not just N.Y. and Washington was in shock and mourning. I called in and told my job I wouldn't be in and then I drove myself and my daughter over to my parents' house. I felt strength and comfort in being there and sharing this with them. I realized this morning (9/11/02) that this will be one of those days in my life that I will never forget. I will always remember where I was and what I was doing. It's weird because I thought my generation (I'm 33) wouldn't ever have one of those days. Ever. But as the saying goes, "we will never forget". I can't believe it's been a year. I feel as if it were yesterday. God bless us all.
