The biggest fear I think for anyone on that day across the country was getting home to our families- our children. The overwhelming feeling of needing to see them and tell them that I love them.. To see my huband's face and know that he is ok. But having these things made me feel even more helpless to the people who would no longer have these things. To the people that are no longer with us and their families, I send you a message of hope and peace. September 11th left no one unaffected. My prayer is that the effect is one of pride of our country and love for one another. Let us never take anything for granted.
