Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I had began working only a few days before September 11, and did not know the people I worked with that well. On September 11, soon after I had arrived at work a gentleman came out of his office and exclaimed that a plane had hit the trade tower. My first reaction was to not believe, I thought it was a joke. He stated it was not and I just could not believe it. I immediately went back to his office and viewed the tower over the intetnet, still not believing what I was seeing. Everyone at the shop was glued to the radio and then we all heard that the second tower had been hit. Not long afterwards we heard that a third plane was headed towards the capital. Total disbelief, sorrow, and anguish for those involved consumed my thoughts. Horror of what was going on and what might happen next consumed my thoughts. I called my husband to see if he was aware of the tragedy happening and he said he was. He brought a TV to where I worked so that we all could see what was going on. We plugged in the TV and seen the first tower falling. I questioned the humanity of what was happening, who could do this to so many innocent people? I was praying and asking, questioning how could he let this happen? I was the only female among 33 men and tried so hard to withhold my emotions. It has been a year now and I still have a very difficult time accepting what has happened to so many innocent people and the families that live in the aftermath of this tragedy. It is so easy to question your faith; however, I have to believe that everything that happens has a purpose. I see the people of this country memorializing and ultimately growing strength from this tragedy and have to beleive that this is what was intended. We need to have faith in knowing that this was meant to put things in its true perspective and so that we could once again have compassion for our fellow human beings and to not take for granted any time that we share on this earth. My heart truly goes out to all the survivors, families, children of all that lost their lives for us on September 11, 2001--God bless you all!
