September 11th started like everyday for me. I got up and got my kids ready for school. I hurried them because the night before they had stayed up longer then the usual. While I'll tried to get everyone ready my husband was constantly in the way. Urrghh, it was going to be another one of those days. The T.V was running and Bryant Gumbel was talking to someone. As I walked out of the kitchen I remembered my girls saying -Mom, a plane just hit the World Trade Center. I didn't believe it! I looked at the T.V and there it was. The first Tower was burning! Oh my God, I thought. These poor people who just got hurt or lost their lives. What a terrible accident. But deep inside of me I thought -That's so strange. The sky is so blue and clear. How in the world did a plane get lost and hit the Tower! However then I remembered the incident with the stuntman and the statue of Liberty just a few days before. Was this a another stunt accident? Then I glanced at the clock. Oh, I had to hurry I was running late.

My husband left and I waved him good-bye. As I closed the front door I took another glance at the T.V and what I saw next changed my world forever. Another plane was approaching. Another plane hit the second tower!!! My kids were yelling- Mom, Mom another plane. I couldn't believe it. What in the world was going on? What is happening. I grabbed the phone and dialed my husband. -Hon, another plane hit , another plane hit..I yelled in the phone. My husband didn't know what I was saying. He told me to hang up and calm down. The next 24 hrs seem to me like a dream to me. I ran up and down the stairs, feeling like pulling my hair out. I got the kids dressed and send them to school.

I remember making sure that morning that I cuddled them more and made sure I tell each of them I Loved very much before they disappeared into the school building. I guess they thought mom was to weird and gross that morning. Bless the children , because at that time they were so oblivious to things as the tragedy unfolded. I hurried home and from that moment I was glued to the television. I remember watching the towers go down. The Pentagon hit (my husband is prior military . The Pentagon attack was especially hard for us) September 11th the world changed forever. Nothing will ever be the same. Everything is different. I support President George W. Bush words

We will not tire, We will not falter, We will not fail, Peace and Justice will prevail.
