I keep an online diary. This is my entry, word for word for the date of September 11th, 2001.
**********************************
11 Sep 2001 - Horror and Devestation. God Bless America.
I can't even describe how this day has effected me. I am almost speechless as it all seems like a dream. How could this have happened? It is all so surreal...even when we watch over and over again...it still just couldn't have really happened. The total devestation..the absolute horror of the amount of lives lost. My God...what must have been going on in those planes as the terrorists took control. The chaos, the terrifying feeling. Knowing...absolute KNOWING you are going to DIE! The utter disbelief and amazment of the workers in the Trade Center towers as they look out their business windows and see these huge airliners coming straight toward them. No time to think, no time to prepare, no time to reflect, no time to say a goodbye or and I love you. No TIME.
The destruction. The total destruction. The hundreds of people who had gone in to help. They too..lost their lives. It just can't be real. I wish I could just wake up and it all have been a dream. May God please Bless this country....The United States of America. May he take the victims into his arms and comfort their loved ones left to mourn their loss.
Our lives have changed forever. And not just ours, the citizens of America. I think all the world has been affected. A very, very big Thank You to this website for the kind and wonderful words written for our country and it's citizens. It is a great comfort to know we have support from people around the globe.
My girls...ages 20 months and 3 months...their lives will forever be changed by the events that happened today. All of our lives have been affected.
God Bless this County.
