911DA Story: Story
I was working in our literature room, making some copies, when I couldn't believe what I heard on the radio. I walked out, made sure other people had heard the same, and we spent most of the day with our ears turned to the radio, waiting for more word.
More importantly than work that day was a doctor's appointment that I had. It was the day that my doctor told me that my husband and I were pregnant; finally, after over a year of trying and various fertility attempts.
On a day of such tragedy for my country was the most joyous news that we could have received. A day a rejoicing, as well as mourning. For each of these reasons, it will be a day I never forget. As I look at my daughter, now nearly five months old, I have a new appreciation and understanding of life, both because of her, and all the lives changed by the tragic events of September 11th, 2001.
God Bless.
