HOLA KATARINA. I'M TYPING ONE-HANDED AND HOLDING ELIZABETH WITH THE OTHER!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR MESSAGE. I AM SOOO GLAD THAT EVERONE YOU KNOW IS
O.K. MY HUSBAND WORKS FOR THE PHONE COMPANY VERIZON WHICH HAD 4 PEOPLE IN
THE TOWERS THAT DAY. THEY WERE ON THE 94TH FLOOR AND CALLED TO SAY THAT THE
SMOKE AND FIRE WAS BELOW THEM (AND THEY COULDN'T GO DOWN TO ESCAPE) AND THEY
WERE HEADING FOR THE ROOF IN HOPES THAT A HELICOPTER COULD RESCUE THEM.
THAT WAS THE LAST THEY WERE HEARD FROM AND THEN, LIKE YOU, I WATCHED
HORRIFIED ON LIVE TELEVISION AS THEY CAME CRASHING DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!! WE
WATCHED PRESIDENT BUSH'S SPEECH BEFORE ALL OF CONGRESS LAST NIGHT; AND AS
AMERICANS, WE ARE GREATFUL TO HAVE SUCH A STRONG LEADER. IT IS SCARY TO
THINK THAT WAR IS NECESSARY - MY BROTHER IS A NAVY RESERVIST AND IS ON HIGH
ALERT. HE MAY GET CALLED UP TO ACTIVE DUTY EVEN THOUGH HE IS IN COLLEGE.
PLEASE TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW THERE THAT PEOPLE HERE APPRECIATE WITH ALL
OUR HEARTS THE PRAYERS, CARING GESTURES, AND SUPPORT WE HAVE HEARD AND SEEN
COMING FROM EUROPE. IT IS AMAZING HOW TRAGEDY AND TERROR IS UNITING THE
WORLD. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY ANYONE CAN HATE OTHERS ENOUGH TO DO
SOMETHING SO EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT IS INCREDIBLE IS THAT THESE HIJACKERS
AND TERRORISTS CLAIM TO BE MUSLIM; YET THE HIGHEST SIN OF ISLAM IS
SUICIDE!?!?!!!! ALSO, "THEIR RELIGION" IS ONE OF PEACE - ESPECIALLY IN THE
CASE OF INNOCENT VICTIMS. IT IS ALL SO SAD. THERE ARE TOO MANY SAD
STORIES - BUT THE WORST IS THAT 300 RESCUERS WENT INTO THE BUILDINGS JUST
BEFORE THEY COLLAPSED. I CRIED THEN AS I WATCHED IT HAPPEN, I CRIED AT
CHURCH SUNDAY AS I PRAYED FOR THEIR FAMILIES, AND I CRY INSIDE NOW BECAUSE
THEY WERE JUST TRYING TO DO THEIR JOBS!
IN REGULAR DAY-TO-DAY LIFE, WE ARE DOING VERY WELL. ELIZABETH IS SO
SWEET - I LOVE HER SMILES. I AM SO GLAD I'M HOME WITH HER. THE ONLY THING
I MISS ABOUT TEACHING IS STUDENTS LIKE YOU! I NEED TO GO MAKE DINNER NOW...
I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU. PRAY FOR US - YES WE ARE GOING TO DALLAS ON SEPT.
27TH AND RETURNING ON OCT 2. ELLIE HAS 4 GREAT GRANDMOTHERS AND ONE GREAT
GRAMPA, AND I WANT ALL OF THEM TO BE ABLE TO HOLD HER. SHE IS SO CUDDLY
(LIKE A TEDDY BEAR). DO NOT WORRY THOUGH, SECURITY IS SO MUCH BETTER NOW -
I FEEL PRETTY SAFE.
TAKE CARE KATA. HASTA LUEGO!
CON MUCHO CARINO, JULIE
