We received a phone call just before 7:00am from (of all people) my ex-husband...He said "Have you heard...a plane has gone into one of the Twin Towers in New York..." How do you believe something like that!!! We got around and watched the television...Our 12 year old son stood next to me and asked very solemnly..."You know what this means..." Then he very accurately explained what was happening and what would happen next. He then said "Mom this is OUR Pearl Harbor...Now we know how they felt." Then he hugged me and left for school...I didnt want to let him go!! My husband also gave me his love and went off to work. My ex-husband called back and asked if our two boys could stay home with him..It was his birthday..he didnt want to let them go either. I then went and held our 2 year old daughter and prayed for the future and for those hurt, injured and now missing their loved ones..I dtill do this every day..I Love our country..With all of its flawa, I love it!!!
