I was playing games on the internet when my son came running into my house, all excited and out of breath, asking me if I knew what had just happened in New York City ? He changed my tv channel, we could not believe our eyes or ears. The only thing I could do was sit down and pray to our Father in heaven, then the tears came quietly down my cheeks,my heart felt very heavy and then the towers started falling. I have never felt so helpless. The need to touch my family, make sure that they were all okay growing ever stronger till I felt I would burst. I will never forget 9-11-01.
