I was in my kitchen many miles from New York City. I was waiting for the pest control man to come and service our home. As he came into my house I saw the first expolsion in the Tower on ABC. Not knowing what really was happening I commented to the sevice man about what a tragedy we had seen and then the second Tower bust into a cloud oF smoke.I am not the same woman I was the day as is the case with every American. Today is the one year anniversary and we are so scared of another attack. Has the objective been met by the enemy? Will we always walk in fear over mere rumors.I have lost a sense of security and probably won't ever know the same level as before that day. I have drawn much closer to my GOD and although I do not fear death it is so clear that it can happen at anytime. By the way , on the six month annisevery the bug man was back at my home and he actually remembered that he was at my home that mornign. No bugs just memories that will never be erased.
