My father-in-law was dying. He had diabetes, and was off of his dyalisis machine, he only had a few days to live. The morning of September 11, around 5:00am, pacific time, my husband went to his fathers bedside, he watched his father die. He came home, and I was very upset, because he wasn't home with his children when it happened. I left to the store, and came back to see that the T.V. was on, and it was showing that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center, we thought it was a freak accident, then we saw the other one hit. We were devistated. My oldest daughter, she was 12 at the time, was very upset, first to find out that her grandfather had just passed away, and then to witness this. That day will live on in our hearts forever. I just want to say a warm thank-you to all of the firefighters and police families that lost loved ones that day. They were truly heros, also to the families of the plane that crashed into the ground - Your husbands, fathers, brothers, were TRUE HEROS! Thank you for allowing them to follow there dreams of helping people, they truly were angels.
