By the time I woke up California time, wich was seven thirty in the morning both tower had been hit and were raging with fire. As soon as I wake up in the morning I turn on the Today Show and I saw this horrible image on my television and could not beleive my eyes. I couldn't leave the television, knowing that I had to get ready for work. I was debating if I should even go to work or take my daughter to school. I had kind of figured that we were pretty much safe in California so I decided to get ready for work and also get my daughter ready for school. Riding to work Iwas in a trance and you could look around to everyone in their cars going to work also in a trance. We just could not beleive what was happening to our country. Looking back now it seems like everything wasjust too perfect and calm, take it America had it's problems but life was good.

I was in New York a year before 911 and I still fell as though I had had a preminition . Within the course of maybee an hour on one of the days that I was in the city my girlfriend and I saw three to four sets of twins. I didn't think anything about that, after that some other things happened to me while being in New York and I just wanted out of there, my spirit felt weighed down and I couldn't
tell what was going on with me,I had a funny feeling about the city, I didn't want to fly home, I was afraid to. I was suppose to fly out of Kennedy and ended up flying out of Jersey International Airport. I was so releived to get back to the west coast. Looking back those moments while I was in the city I truly feel like God was trying to tell me somthing and I just did not know how to decipher what was going on around me. My prayers go to all who have suffered from this tragic, tragic incedent. Always remember that God and your loved ones are always with you. Peace
