It was my day off of work and I was sitting by myself drinking my second cup of coffee watching the news thinking about all the stuff I was going to get done today in the house. When the news break came on and I saw the plane crash into the first tower I was in a fog at first. My mind couldn't percieve what was happening. Then I watched as the second tower got hit. I started to feel scared and anxious. Then the Pentagon then the plane in PA. I was totally bewildered. All I could think about were all those poor innocent people. How could anybody be so cruel. When the towers collapsed so did I. I felt so helpless. I just sat and watched and cried as the moments passed. I just kept thinking how could so many lifes be taken so quickly. Of course the first person I lashed out at was God. How could he let this happen? Where was he when these poor people needed him. In time I realized I couldn't blame God for the total lack of disreguard of human life. One year later on Sept. 11th, 2002 I feel so sad again. Once again helpless. I can only watch as people cry over the loss of their loved ones. M y heart goes out to each and every one of them. I wish them hope, I wish them love, and I wish them peace. I feel so sad!
