Shortly before 9:00 am I dropped my 2 oldest children off at the babysitters. I returned to my car with my 2 week old baby whom I was taking to work with me that day. When getting in the car at a few minutes after 9:00 am I heard the reports on the radio of a a plane hitting tower 1. While on my way to work I heard the report of another plane hitting Tower 2 and the Pentegon. I immediately drove to my mothers house and turned the TV on and watched in utter amazement. I just watched and cried feeling totally helpless. My father soon called with news of a plane crashing in Somerset PA. It was an obsolutely frightening day. We did not know what would happen next. I pray for the families who lost their love ones that they may have the ability to recover from their loses and perservere.
