911DA Story: Story

A year ago, I remember what was my first reaction that sunny day. I remember like yesterday because it was a beautiful sunny morning when all of a sudden I heard the noise, the commotion, the screaming, the fire, the sirens, the smoke, the people, and then the worst happen I saw the towers fall one by one. The devil arose within the smoke caused by the fire. I saw him there and I panic and ran to my shelter. I ran to the house of the Lord that was my first reaction. I looked for the Lord's comfort. I pray forgiveness for all human beings especially for those who did wrong and for the innocent ones.

I prayed and thank GOD that my little angel still had her mommy to explain what happen. The hardest thing I ever had to do as a mother was explain to a 4 year old what had happened. My daughter has not forgotten that day and I will always remember my first reaction.

The cycle of life is interesting my mother took me there when I was 8 years old because she worked there and then as an adult I took my daughter there.

Life must go on and remember every day is a good day to tell those closest to you that you love them. I love you all and I thank you for being in my life as my family, brothers, sisters, friends, coworkers, and bosses .
