I was celebrating my daughter 5th birthday. We had the T.V. on but we turn down the sound. Gabrielle was opening her presents when we watched in horror when the fired was at the first tower. At first i thought it was a movie. Bit when i saw the second plane hit i realized it was real. It was very hard to celebrate Gabrielle's birthday. My mind race back to N.Y. all day. My soul was hurting but i had to put on a good face. To this day when i see a plane over head i thing of 9/11. i will never be the same. I love my country. I love N.Y. May God bless the U.S.A. I pray daily for my country and i pray we will win this war on terror.
