ON SEPTEMBER 11,2001 I was on my way to enroll my children in school and my oldest daughter heard the news about the terroist incident and it was devastating I stopped everything I was doing and went home to be with my children,who was at home waiting for us to get back from the school with their schedule well when we told them what we had heard they were very frighten so we turned on the news and it was very horrible of what we saw. Never in my wildest dream would I'd ever thought something like this would happen here in the United States.After everything had calmed down a little bit I remembered that it was my 1st year in recovery from drug abuse. I said I knew something bug was going to happen but not this. I'm now 4years and 8months clean but every 911 I celebrate and say Prayers for those who suffered lose on that day.Oprah Ipray that this story reaches you because there is much more that I would like to say. I'm a single mother of six three are grown now and they are my strenght. My daughter who was with me on 911 is my Hero she helped me so much during my active addiction she took care of her two sisters and her brother. This Beautiful young lady got married on May 1st and asked for nothing but that I'd be there for her. If this letter reach you thewn I know that it is an act of God. Truly sincerely yours Ernestine D Boyd
