911DA Story: Story
On Sept 11, My two year old and I had been watching the
news.This was rare event because you know how 2 year olds
are, we usually watch the DISNEY channel. Anyhow the
significane of this is that my beloved sister Lisa is a
airline attendant for American Airlines, and she was
scheduled to fly home on the flight from Washington to
LAX Sept 11. Obviously the flight never made it to LAX, HOW
EVER thank goodness she had spoken with my mom earlier and
my mom advised against comming home at this time.
Lisa is a single mother of Melissa 6 yrs and Allison 3yrs.
My heart sank thinking I had lost my sister.
The second thought I had was the fear of loss of my
husband who is a commander in the National Guard and LAPD.
This tragedy broke my heart. I feel empathy for those who
lost loved ones.It could have been my sister or husband
wasted to this tragedy. Life is not the same since that day for me
and I cherish everyday. I also feel the fear and anger
of this new unseen unpredictable terrism. Things wont be
the same in America, I just feel the need to never forget
how vulnerable, and precious our time on earth is.I pray
for a better life for my nieces and son Maximillian.
