I was nine months pregnant and staying over at my boyfriend's house when we received a phone call from my mother that a plane hit one of the towers. We turned the television on and soon after we saw the second tower get struck. Then, as you know, the Pentagon got hit and that immediately put us into shock. We couldn't belive that this was happening only thirty minutes away. I was just grateful that we were together that day unlike so many other unfortunate people who have lost loved ones. Eleven days later I had my son and he has been our focus and escape from all the horrible things that happened on September 11. So this morning,(Sept. 11, 2002)as difficult as it is for a one year old we joined in the moment of silence as we watched the news. My heart goes out to all the victim's friends and families you will be in our thoughts.
