911DA Story: Story

On the morning of September 11,2001 I awoke to a beautiful 2month old baby girl and what made that day so special it was my very first birthday as a mother and I never thought a day that meant so much to me could turn out to be one of the most horrific days in history, on that morning I did everything I normally did for the past 2 months and just as I put my wonderful little girl down for her morning nap I was frozen because I had just seen the television as I turned away from my child I just couldn't beleive something so awful could happen in our country and just then I picked up my baby and just held her as tight as I could and realized how much she was going to have to deal with in her life and all I could do do was be a mom and hold her and love her as much as I possible could, and know that I need to cherish every moment with her.
