I was in the breakroom, having just arrived at work getting my coffee. The televisions are always on in the facility. I am standing there and I watch as a plane hits the World Trade Center. My mouth just drops open as the 2nd plane hits. I can't believe it what is going on? Then to my horror I see people just flying out of the windows dropping to their death. Tears fill my eyes and I can't get the image out of my head. My thoughts then went to my dear friend and 1st husband who live in NY and I wondered if he was alive. I started sending him emails to make sure he and his family were OK, later I found out they were, days later so I worried for days. I remembered my first time in NY and visiting the World Trade Center it was massive. And to think now it is gone. That day was a supposed to be a happy day, my older son's birthday. Greg was 14 years old on the tragic day. He was devastated that something like that could happen in America, but more so that there were people that would do something so horrible. So today is Gregory's birthday again and we Thanked God that he is here to celebrate another, and asked GOD for peace for all those who lost someone on 9/11. I will never forget!!!!!
