The morning of September 11,2001 is one I will never forget. It has cahnged my life forever. I was six months pregnant with my third child. I was sittling on the couch with my oldest child who was 5 at the time when the first plane hit. My son saw both the first plane as well as the second plane hit. Imagine my horror watching plus tring to explain to my five year old that he was safe. He had a lot of questions about the"bad guys". After I talked to him for awhile I was sitting there quietly and wondered what kind of world was I brining my third child into. What would it be like when he was born? I was scared for him as well as my ohter children. I also felt a lot of grief for the vicitms of 9-11. I can not imagine what they were feeling.Luckily I had belief that the president would keep us as safe as possible and every thing would be okay, never the same but okay. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims everyday. I don't think there is a day since it happened that I haven't thought about it. I was lucky engough not to lose anyone. God Bless the United States. My prayers also to out to those in the military.
