I just finished getting dressed and had the TV on in our bedroom. I walked into the living room and my husband had the TV on also. I looked at him and said "Do you think it's terrorists because I don't think planes are allowed to fly in the airspace above Manhatten. I no sooner said that and then the second plane hit the building. I was devastated but went to work. As soon as I got here I called my mom to find out if my sister and cousins who work in NY were okay. She said everyone except my cousin's husband was okay. He worked for Cantor Fitzgerald on the 104th Fl of the first tower hit. It was so painful for my family becasue my cousin Cathy Lyn was left with 4 children ages 11, 9 and 3 yr old twins. There are so many stories like mine. It was truly a sad day in America and I pray we never have to go through this again.
