I don't know where to start really. I was in rural town America where I live and work and raise my family when we were attacked. I stared at my desk for most of the rest of the day until I could go home and see for myself what in the world was going on. Far from the danger but still hit very hard with emotions from knowing that my way of life and the freedoms that I want for my childern were being theatened. I was in total shock for weeks after 9-11 and still hurt today when I think of all the childern who lost their parents, the husbands and wives who lost each other and the fact that they will never be able to replace them. I pray for them daily and hope that they know there are people who care for them and what they are going thru.
