911DA Story: Story
I was watching The Today Show that beautiful morning. I heard Matt Lauer say that a small plane had hit the World Trade Tower. As I turned my attention to the television, I saw the second plane hit the second tower. I had a sense of panic and despair.
My husband worked at the Prudential Tower in Boston and I called him immediately thinking all towers might be vulnerable.
A man from our small town was killed as he walked by the Towers that fateful morning. He was killed by falling debris on his way to a business meeting.What a wonderful family is left grieveing this great family man.
Sadness enveloped me days later when I wondered how I would visit my granddaughter in Texas as I felt I would never fly in an airplane again. Since then, I have flown several times. I will not let the terrorists destroy my life or keep my family apart, although none of our lives will ever the the same.
My heart goes out to all of the innocent vicitms and their families as I cannot imagine their pain. May God bless them all and may God bless America.
