911DA Story: Story
It started out like any day. I was up with our son and my husband was in school at the time so he was getting ready to catch the bus. I had just finished feeding the baby and I turned on the T.V. I just turned it to the channel my favorite talk show was on. The minute I saw the first tower on fire I started yelling for my husband and he came running from the bedroom. As soon as he made it to the T.V. the second plane had just made it to tower 2. I immediatley started to cry as did my husband.
I was very panicy because I didn't understand what was going on. My mind was racing so fast that my thoughts were a blur. I tried to call my mom who lived 150 miles from me but i couldn't get throught to her or anyone on my cell phone. It kept saying all circuits are busy please try again later. Or due to the recent tornado?all the lines are down. My husband never went to school that day. For the next 4 weeks I watched all the news about what was going on and just cried all day long. I still cry when I talk about it or when there is something on T.V. about our nations tragedy. I guess I just really want to say that my thoughts and prayers are with all the families who have lost a loved one during this tragedy. Truley, my heart goes out to all of you and all of the policemen and firefighters who lost their life or put their lives on the line for our country. You are true heroes. God Bless America.
