September 11, 2001 was the most beautiful morning ever. As always, I walked my son and some other children to school. On the way home, with my younger son, I distinctly remember looking at the beautiful blue sky filled with soft fluffy white clouds. When I finally went inside my house and turned on the television, the day suddenly became UGLY. What a contrast, within such a short period of time. Later that day and for many days later, the skies were empty. For the first time in my life, there were no planes overhead. I walked back to school because I had to see my son and know that he was safe. My sons are the most important things in my life and life without them would be unbearable. Thank God my children are safe and please ensure all others that weren't so lucky that day are safe and in your care.
