I lost my oldest sister from multiple medical problems on September 9, 2001. I went to work at the State Capitol in Jefferson City, Mo on September 11, 2001 at 8:30 a.m. Later that morning when I heard about the September 11th tragedies, I realized that losing my oldest sister was far more acceptable than what had occurred to all of those poor innocent people who never would have expected such an evil thing to happen. You see, my family and I had been expecting for my sister to die for a very long time before she did, but what happened on September 11, 2001 was totally unexpected and shocking. My heart went out to all those who were murdered and to their families and friends on that day and always.
