I had just dropped off my two girls at school. I went home and as always to put on the T.V and watch the morning news. I thought it was so unreal when it came on T.V I ran in and called my husband out of the room. We were both in shock! I couldn't get my eyes off the T.V. for hours I was there glued to the television, scared and very sadden, angry, so many emotions you have when something like this happens. I remember wanting to go and get my girls out of school but I was afraid I would miss something on the television. I seen when the second plan went into the building. I was so shocked... All I know is when I laid down to go to sleep, I couldn't sleep my mind was with those in New York... I didn't sleep for days... I cried many nights... I never thought something like this could have an effect on the whole world. I feel like apart of me was in that building when it went down. I pray for all the ones that did have apart of them in the building. And may God continue to make them stronger everyday.
