Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I am still in as much shock today as I was on that horrid day. My son was very sick and I had to take the day off from work, which is very far and few in between. I was watching tv waiting for my son to wake up to give him medicine, while the whole tragedy unfolded right before my eyes. My son woke up crying and I could not move. It took me a good 15 minutes to pull myself together to be able to get my son. Once I got him I did not want to let him go, I feared everything at that point and had a huge cloud of uncertainty and fear hanging over my head. To me it just felt like the end, I could not figure out what it was the end of, but I had a huge feeling of loss and pain deep inside. It was a life changing event for me and I cannot imagine how people who suffered loss as a result of 9/11 go on. To me the entire event is so unimaginable that I still have trouble comprehending just how something like this could happen. My heart does and will forever go out to everyone who lost someone on 9/11. It breaks my heart over and over again to think of the children who will never grow up with their parents as a result of 9/11. Everynight when I hug my son and kiss him goodnight I thank god for those moments and cherish them like no other. I could not imagine it any other way and yet after 9/11 I realize how all that could change in an instant. I never in my life thought there would be a situation where I could not describe it with words strong enought to convey my true feelings. 9/11 was an unthinkably sad say.
