911DA Story: Story
i was in the process of getting my children ready and off to school. i saw what was happening on good morning America and my heart sank with such grief that i felt sick.
i prayed for the families for what they were going through and what they were to face in the days and months, even tears to come. i knew what i was feling yet i also knew i couln never fully know the pain and suffering that the victims families and friends were dealing with. i soon found myself praying for strangers, praying that their loved ones would be found. i had forgotten and neglected to love my neighbors and treat others as i would want others to treat me. i found my rainbow after this storm and i have been renewed with a sense of love for all and a compassion for people more than i thought possible. i also held on more tightly than ever to my family because i now know and truly realize how preciouse and little our toime together really is. i will never forget the pain and the suffering and i will hold dear in my heart heroism and courage of that dreadfull day. i will not forget all who were lost. though it is impoosible to know all the detail, faces names ect, but all i have to do is look at my family to know. they were all someones mother, son , daughter, father, husband, wife, friend ect. they all had dreams, hopes,love. some may have been artistic, funny, serious,
intelligent, quiet, loud ,outgoing, shy and everytyhing inbetween and more. I never had the privelidge to know them but i will never forget them.
