I woke early on September11,2001 because we had an appointment, so I turned on the television and I seen the aftermath of the first plane. I recall thinking how sad and what an accident. Then I watched as the second plane hit and thats when I knew that everything had just changed in America, my children woke and they seen me watching t.v. and that I was upset, they then went and woke up there daddy
and few the first part of that morning we watched as the horrors of that day unfolded before our eyes.. I watched my children cry and they asked why? I couldn't answer. I then watched my husband cry as the towers went down. I must say that was very hard, for all of us. I told the children to go on to school, and they did but not without my promise that if anything else bad happened I would come and get them. My youngest made me say "Ilove you" more than twenty times and I did this for her and for myself, I stayed by the t.v. for most of the day just numb and sad, never did I think this would've or even could've happened. I did a lot of crying the frist week, my heart still aches for all those who lost someone, my heart wishes them love and peace,forevermore. My thanks and prayers go out to all of America.
