On September 11th for some reason I did not turn on the T.V. that morning as I usually do, so I did not know what was going on. I dropped off my two boys at school and came directly to work. When I got to my desk it was about 8:10a.m. in the morning and my supervisor said that our Boss just called to tell us to put on the T.V. that a plain just hit the Twin Towers. We all went to the back to watch, and decided to put the T.V. up front whare everyone can see. The silence was overwhelming and the shock and screams when the second plain hit was scary, then to find out about the other two plains was just two much for me. Here I was a mother with two sons expecting to have a third and I just held my stomach and cried for how long I don't remember. The thought of my kids being raised at this time and bringing a new life into this world really baught tears to my eyes. I just wanted to go home and hug my kids, husband, and family. My family and I kept in touch throughout the day all just praying and telling each other we loved each other. Thank God our family out in N.Y were all doing fine. I just prayed and still pray for peace.
