I REMEMBER THAT I HAD AWAKEN AT 7:30AM TO GET MY BABY GIRL (THEN ONLY 22DAYS OLD) HER BOTTLE. WHEN I TURN ON THE TELEVISION TO WATCH THE NEWS.
AT AROUND 8:30AM I REMEBER THAT I HAD THIS VERY STRANGE FEELING LIKE SOMETHING BAD WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. I TOLD MY HUSBAND AND HE SAID THAT IT PROBABLY WAS JUST NERVES BECAUSE OF THE NEW BABY.
THEN AT 8:47AM I SAW ON THE NEWS ABOUT THE PLANE CRASHING INTO THE WORLD TRADE CENTER. I JUST FROZE. THEN I STARTED TO CALL MY UNCLE THAT WORKS THERE. THANK GOD THAT HE WAS LATE TO WORK THAT FATEFUL DAY. HE MISSED THE CRASH BY 5 MINUTES. THEN I WAS JUST DEVASTED BY ALL THE PEOPLE. IT WAS LIKE A NIGHTMARE. I THOUGHT IT WAS LIKE A MOVIE. AND THAT THEY WOULD SAY IT WAS A JOKE. BUT THE TRUTH WAS THAT IT WAS A REAL REALITY THAT OUR PEOPLE OF NEW YORK WERE REALLY LIVING.
I JUST HOPE THAT FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR LOVED ONES. THAT THEY KNOW THAT KNOW THAT THEY ARE NOT ALONE.
REMEMBER THAT THEY WILL ALWAYS HAVE A VERY SPECIAL PLACE IN OUR HEARTS AND IN OUR NATION.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL AMERICA
