I will never forget 9-11. I woke up that day to celebrate my daughters birthday. It was her second. I woke up went downstairs and turned the television on. The first thing i seen was the first tower burning. I ran upstairs to tell my mom, but she already had it on. What we thought to have been an accident; turned out to be a disaster. I was pregnant with my second child so it really upset me to see this. As we were watching the second plane hit that's when we knew this was going to be war!!
I was waiting for my husband to come for the party and when he did he had no idea what had happaned. I took him to the t.v. to see, he was in shock. He was the one who mentioned that he bet washington D.C. was going to be hit. I wanted to spend as much time with my daughter being as though it was her birthday. We took her to the park and by the time we came home my mom told us of another plane hitting the pentagon and one crashing in pa. Which most have flown right above our heads.
I was so scared after that day things will never be the same for my daughter. Because of the tragedies I went into labor a month early. My second daughter was born 9.27.01.
I pray for our soldiers who will began to fight this day of 3.19.03. I pray for those who have lost love ones on the infamous day. I pray for those who will lose love ones in this upcoming war. And most of all I pray for this great nation. God Bless Everyone!!
