911DA Story: Story
I was on the phone with our supplier and she told me a plane had flown into the world trade tower. As we spoke of how tragic this was another plane hit tower 2 and she said she thought it was planned and a attack on our nation was happening.
I went to the other offices to let my fellow workers know what was happening. I told the group in a meeting I was sorry to interrupt but that two planes had flown into the world trade towers and one of our co-workers burst into tears as she had a freind who worked there. (Thank God her freinds office had moved into another building and he was fine.) We sent for a tv and spent the better part of the day in shock watching an event that was too horrible to imagine.
I went to prayer and have not stopped since. I wear my t-shirts that tell of my support for my fellow Americans and I pray over the families of the deceased all the time.
I had just lost my Mother and was so glad I did not have to tell her what had happened in New York.
I also remember the firemen and police and rescue people and their families in my prayers. These people are heros and I shake the hand and hug any firemen I see. They did not give up even when they knew no one else was alive.
This was such a wake up call for us in America. We are not invincible without working together. May God always be with us no matter where we have to be.
