Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On that morning, I went to work thinking about all of the mundain things I had to accoplish. I had just started a new job, and the stress was already getting to me. As I went on my break at nine, a friend of mine came in and said that one of the Twin Towers just got hit by a jet, his wife had just called telling him. We all thought it was just a joke, or a small one person plane. As we left break, I walked out on the the sales floor and saw the two store managers looking at the tv, with their hands over their mouths. My stomach instantly hit the floor. As I approached the television, I saw the sihlouette of the second plane and commented on how low it was. It went behind the tower, and never came back out....just a ball of flames. I called my husband, who was still sleeping, crying and yelling at him to turn on the TV. We watched in horror as the Pentagon was reported hit. My brother is a Naval Officer, and had been known to be there weekly. Thank God, he called that night to tell us he was in Norfolk and not to worry about him. I got off of work and went home and held my son, who was seven months old. All I wanted in the world was to be with my family and cry. How did the day change me? I look at things differently now. I quit the job I found so "mundain", and went back to school. I tell my husband that I love him every time he leaves, whether we are in the middle of a heated argument or a wonderful day. I look at my beautiful son, who is now 18 months old, and I think about all of the hope his future holds. Our second son, Logan, is due this December 8th. Family has always been important to my husband and myself, but now it is so much more important.
