911DA Story: Story

I was at work, as a cna at my hospital in tarpon spings
florida. I just happend to walk through the xray department
and saw smoke fire on the TV. I stoppped and looked as they
recapped the first plane the hit the twin towers. I remember
saying "Oh my I can't believe this happend" I naturally
thought it was just a bad plane accident. When the second
plane hit, I didn;t believe it. I thought it was a bad joke,
haveing not been near a tv. It really didn't hit me untill
the towers fell. all those people , all that devastion, all
the hurt. I hurt for the families who's loved one never
came home for dinner. For the children who don't understand
why dad didn't come home, and the mom's who had to explain
why. I still hurt today.....
