Just like any other morning I woke up and got a cup of coffee, sat down to watch the news. My son Joseph got up and said "what is this going on in N.Y.?" "I said oh must be an anniversery of that time they tried to bomb the world trade center." As I watched further I shouted to my son in the other room "oh my god this is happening now."
I know at this point you might be saying that my story doesn't seem so significant but I must back up to the beginning of 2001 for you to realize the impact that 9-11 had and has each year on me and my family.
My Grandmother died on 3,11, 2001. (My Mother's Mother)
My Mother died on 6,22, 2001
________________
Many americans died on 9,11 2001

I could not believe my eyes when I looked at these numbers.
As I went on with my life mourning the two women who had been my everything, and what had happened to the world that they both knew I couldn't help but wonder if somehow they were warning us.
I then came accross a bible that my Mother had given me in 1969, ON 09-11.......

I mourn with the country each anniversery, not only for the many innocent lives lost on that day but also for what those numbers (9-11) mean to me..
