Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I had just gotten my 3 kids off to school. I caught the news as I was getting dressed; I watched in absolute horror as the world that I thought I knew, ended. I immediately called my husband and in one breath, we both said "go get the kids". In tears, scared and wanting my family at home, I rushed off to the high school, middle and elementary school. My husband's company sent the employees home to be with their families. One of the most profound things that have come out of this for me is the TOTAL loss of innocence for my children and future generations. Rationally, I have always wandered just when and how terrorists would reach us. I grew up in Scandinavia and have lived and traveled all my life so I do realize, unlike, unfortunately, many Americans do not, that OTHER countries feel the same way about their country as we do and that WE HAVE TO LEARN TO ACCEPT DIVERSITY; not just in lip service, but in our hearts. We, the people, need to take our government back and make it as diversified as this country is. I also believe that Israel and Palenstine will have to have separate countries and that the US and the world need to help make that happen. We can't take sides on something like this as the chasm just gets wider and more violent. If this does not happen, we will loose what little realtions we have with the Muslim world and there will be a war that the world has never seen. I keep thinking of the people lost and I thank God daily when everyone gets home safely. I never let my family leave angry or without saying that I love them. 9/11 taught me a very valuable lesson on everyday routines and days...you can't take it for granted. I can't express enough gratitude for this web site; it feels so good to just let it out and know that, hopefully, someone else will read and understand what I'm conveying. Thank you.
