I was working as a cook for a nursing home, and my mother (who also works there) came into the kitchen and said that there was an accident in New York. A plane just hit one of the towers. She came back in about 5-10 minutes later and said it was no accident, another plane flew into the other tower. My manager, coworkers and myself just held each other and cried and prayed for the lost, and the survivors. When i got home, all I could concentrate on was the news, I sat and cried and cried with my family, and we all prayed for the loved ones that were at lost, and all the children that had died. I was really scared when I found out about the Pentagon and then Pa., still today it send cold chills rushing down my spine. I did not know any that had lost their lives, but I still pray for all the families and victims. For at least the next few weeks, that is all I would watch, just trying to understand WHY, this happened to our great country.
Thank You,
