I was puttting my daughter to sleep on that terrible morning of September 11,2001. I was playing poker when someone said the WTC had been hit by a plane. I quickly went upstairs, put my sleeping daughter in her crib, and went to tell my husband who was off that day watching sport center. We turned to CNN and went to the Today show, and we horrified. When the plane went down in PA., which is an hour and a half from my home, I went to school to get my son out. I was in a state of shock. I told my 7 year old that there were bad people trying to hurt people and I wanted him home with his family. I think of the people who lost their lives that day quite often. My heart goes out to their families. I cried for days after Sept. 11 and still do. The firefighters and police who lost their lives trying to save lives hurts so much. They were so brave going in them buildings knowing they might not come out alive. They should make the meaning for the word HERO, cause that is what they are. They are and will always be hereos. The people on the planes who lost their lives not knowing what was going on is really sad. Flight 93, the people who lost their lives by saving maybe 1,000 of lives. They are heroes too.. I will never forget any of you. Never.........
