I got into work on September 11, 2001 hearing on the local radio that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. I thought to myself that it must be a small one or two man plane and kept on working. Then the radio announcer interupted a song to say another plane crashed into the World Trade Center and they were passanger planes. I was in disbelief! I immediatley tried to find any information I could on the internet. I had a very hard time getting onto the news web sites because there was too much traffic on those sites. I finally got onto CNN.com. For the rest of the day I watched CNN on the internet. I saw the collapse of both towers live. It was so heartbreaking because I knew at that moment so many people just died. When I got home that night I hugged my girls and watched the news solid for the rest of the day & following week.

My life has changed since September 11, 2001. Every time I fly I think about what was going through the minds of the passangers when they new the plane was going to crash. I look at everyone & everything differently now. I try to live my life to the fullest because you never know if you could loose it all tomorrow.

I think everything should be remembered, it should never be forgotten!

We flew a flag in our garden & lite a candle. My feelings for the flag have not changed. As a little girl I always admired the American flag. Americans have such pride in there country, I admire that, it is beautiful.
