I was home in bed due to pre-term labor complications when I receieved a call from my husband. He was on his way to work and had the radio on when he heard the news. He was just speechless when he called me and told me to turn on the television. He just kept repeating turn on the television. When I did, to my horror I saw what the rest of the world was watching. In front of my eyes was unfolding the most horrific and unthinkable act. I will never forget that moment for as long as I live. Today, the anniversary was especially emotional as my husband and I hold our healthy baby and reflect on how lucky and blessed we are to have both our daughters and our family in tact. Our thoughts and prayers go out forever to all the heros of this tradegy.
