911DA Story: Story

I was sitting in my home on Sept. 11 waiting for the time to pass to pick my daughter up from pre-school. I was turning the channels and came upon CNN. I could not believe what was happening. It was like a nightmare. A friend called me and said did you see it did you see what is happening. We were on the phone together crying. I just wanted to go a pick up my daughte and hold her. I felt for the families who didn't know about there loved ones. The children who would never get to see mom and dad or their families again. When my husband came home that evening he just held me and our daughter. My prayers go out to everyone...the families, the EMS service, the firefighters. Everyone who was there to help. God Bless the USA.
