I was watching Good Morning America. I was also recovering from a serious surgery and was unable to bear weight. My youngest soon came home after he had just left for school, with a severe asthma attack. As he walked in the door, the television announced the first plane had struck in New York. Steven was shocked and came running into the room I was in. I spoke what I knew in my heart immediately. "Dear Blessed Mother," I told him. "We must pray." Before we finished the prayer, the second, third, and fourth plane had struck and I explained about Pearl Harbor, and that Sadly, America would never be the same.

I spent the next few days feeling like a prisoner of terrorism as I could only sit and watch television, unable to walk.

I never felt so helpless in my life.

Two years later I have recovered from a fifth surgery and I am now attending school to become a Registered Nurse.
