I WAS DOZING IN AND OUT OF SLEEP THAT MORNING WAITING FOR MY 1 YR OLD TO WAKE UP. I OPENED MY EYES AND SAW THAT A BUILDING WAS BURNING ON T.V AND THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT...SO I TURNED THE CHANNEL AND NOTICED IT WAS ON EVERY CHANNEL, AND JUST THEN I SAW A JET HIT ANOTHER BUILDING. THEN I REALIZED THAT IT WAS THE WTC AND WE HAD BEEN HIT. WHAT A MORNING!! IT TOOK A FEW MINUTES TO REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED...THEN MY FIANCE CAME RUNNING IN THE HOUSE SAYING THE TOWERS BLEW UP!!!....AND WE WERE GLUED TO THE T.V ALL DAY. WHAT AN AWFUL WAY TO WAKE UP AND START THE DAY. I CRIED ALL DAY AND PRAYED THAT THE FAMILIES WOULD FIND THEIR LOVED ONES.
