I will never forget the feeling on that day as I sat at
my desk doing my morning routine. A co-worker asked me to
come over by his desk to see this picture of the World Trade
Centers. As we watched the news coverage of the first tower
up in smoke a second plane came in. I couldn't believe my
eyes. Who on earth could be so heartless?? And why?? After
awhile I went back to my work checking the news periodically
only to find out that a plane had also hit the Pentagon and
another had crashed somewhere in PA. I went home that day for
lunch just to verify what I had saw on the websites. It just
didn't sink in. Not until my 3 year old asked my that evening
why someone would do that. I cried trying to explain to him
what had happened and that there are some very bad people out
there that had killed a lot of innocent people. Every now and
then he builds two towers with his Legos and again asks why
someone would fly planes into those two buildings. It scares
me that he remembers and I only hope that I explained things
to him without scaring him. I again cried today remembering
all the people that lost their lives a year ago and all the
family that is left to grieve their loss. There has not been
a day that has gone by that I have not thought of every single
person. Rest in peace & God Bless America!!
