On September 11, 2001 I was sitting at my desk at work at a Cable Company. As with every day i had the television above me on the news with the volume on low. As I sat there watching waiting for the next technician to call me over the radio, I saw fire and smoke of a building in dismay i raised the volume to find out what had happened and then I saw a plane come and crash into another building near by. At first I thought i was watching the instant reply of the disaster I saw in the beginning, I just sat there in shock. As the news reported said "Oh my GOD, another plane just hit the Other building of the World Trade Center". I immediately picked up the phone and told my boyfriend to turn to the news and watch the horrific event I saw. That experience that day was the worst thing I ever seen in my life. Although I didn't have any family members or friends on those planes or in any of the buildings that were attacked that day, my heart goes out to the many loved ones that were lost that day. I can't even imagine the pain they suffered with losing children,fathers,mothers,grandparents,husbands,wives and friends but I know this God will heal all hearts and wounds and vengence will forever be his. May the Lord bless and keep each and every one of you who was involved on that horrific day!
