Hi my name is Myndi Johnson, and on Sept.11,2001 I was at home with my kids, when I saw the first plane hit the towers. I kept thinking to myself that it was some kind of new action packed movie that was coming out. But then they just kept talking about it and then the oter plane hit.
I could't believe my eyes. I grab a hold of my kids and held tight, my daughter who was 3 in a half, turns 4 on the 19th of sept kept asking me what all the smoke and fire was from. How could I explain to my daughter what was happening, when I really did't even understand it my self. I did the best I could. When the tower started collapsing I prayed to GOD please help the people. Why did this happen.
One year later I live each day as if it could be the last. I have become closer to my family and friends, and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't tell my kids how much they mean to me and how much I Love them. I pray for the people that have lost loved ones in this tragic event and for the kids that lost parents.
Thank you for letting me express my feelings
GOD BLESS AMERICA
MYNDI
