I'll never forget the horror of going to my neighbor/friends home and watching as it was all happening before our eyes. Pain and tears filled the room as we sat in shock @ the thought of those we knew who were in New York and for the people who were anywhere near the Towers as they watched, waited and prayed for someone to say "yes I've seen your loved one", yet so many people willnot get that closure ever. Within minutes of seeing the attacks in DC, PA and NY I did the only thing I could think of and that was to go get my daughter from school and hold her so tight that she said "mom your squeezing too tight". Not in a million years, tell them you love them whoever they may be in your life and NEVER let this day be something we take forgranted. God Bless America and all of the heroes who were fighting for us then and who are still fighting for our USA one year later. God Bless those who gave their lives.
