I had just dropped my daughter off at school and was heading to work. Then all of the sudden I heard that a plane had flew into the World Trade Center. At this time I did not think to much of it, but by the time I got to work another plane had hit the other tower. Then the whole office watched on TV the events that unfolded that day. Even though I am very far from New York, I felt like I was in the middle of everything with them. All I wanted to do was get my 2 children and husband and go home and spend all night holding on to them. As a result of September 11, I no longer take anything for granted and I make sure I tell my family everday how much I love them.
I hope that nothing else happens but if it does I know that I am stronger and can handle it now.
