I had just got my oldest daughter off to school, and was sitting watching Channel 2, the Today show. Katie came across the tv and said the first plane had hit and when they went to the site live the second plane hit. It was in the moments that all I could hear was screams in my head. I broke down and wept, then had to explain to my 5 year old what had happened. My heart goes out to all of those who lost thier lives as well as thier family and friends. As one country music singer from England said, on that day all of America became New Yorkers and all the world became Americans. While the screams have easied the memory is there and my heart is broken and sad. I do not know if anything will ever erase that.
