I was just arriving to work when one of my co-workers came up to me and told me about it. She turned the radio on and one of the girls turned the Tv on, as I saw how the second plane hit the tower I just jumped and after my mind had a chance to react, I started crying. My life has not been a very happy one and sometimes thought to myself "why even bother living". But after seeing how these people didn't have a choice to want to die, I appreciate my life a whole lot more, and thank God that my kids and myself were not one of the passengers in on of the planes. As the day went on, I kept thinking about the plane crash and praying for the victims family. My heart ached just thinking the pain that these heartless terrorist were causing all inocent people. I had nightmares and woke up crying at night and kissed and hugged my kids while they slept. They would ask why mommy was crying and I would answer "because mommy is hurting and sometimes if you cry it would make you feel better". But to myself I would think that my tears and the whole worlds tears was not enough to stop the hurt that everyone was feeling. The terrorist wanted to tear this nation appart but instead they brought this nation closer together!
