Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I HAD JUST DROPPED MY 4 YEAR OLD SON OFF AT PRESCHOOL AND WAS VERY PREGNANT WITH MY SECOND SON. I REMEMBER HEARING THE RADIO STATION CUTTING IN TO ANNOUNCE THAT A PLANE HAD JUST CRASHED INTO THE TWIN TOWERS. I TURNED THE STATION NOT REALIZING WHAT WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING, I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I GOT HOME MY MOM CALLED ME TO TELL ME WHAT WAS REALLY GOING ON, THAT THIS WAS NO ACCIDENT SO I TURNED ON THE NEWS AND SAT THERE ALL DAY IN AWE. THE COUNTRY I THOUGHT WAS UNTOUCHABLE HAD BEEN ATTACKED. I WAS TERRIFIED. I REMEMBER THINKING WHAT AM I BRINGING MY BABY INTO. I WAS HAVEWAY AROUND THE WORLD AS MANY OTHERS WAS BUT AT THE SAME TIME I WAS THERE WITH EACH ONE OF THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES. I SAT THERE CRYING AS I WATCHED THESE FAMILIES SEARCH FOR THEIR LOVED ONES. DESPITE THE PEOPLE THAT LOST THEIR LIVES SO MUCH GOOD HAS CAME FROM THIS COUNTRY AS A WHOLE IN THE LAST YEAR. WE AS A COUNTRY HAVE FOUND OUR HEART AGAIN AND WHAT WE STAND FOR. MY FAMILY PERSONALLY HAS DEVELOPED MORE LOVE AND FIND TIME TO SPEND WITH EACH OTHER NOT KNOWING WHAT THE NEXT DAY MAY HOLD,WHICH HAS BROUGHT US CLOSER TOGETHER AS I HOPE IT HAS MANY OTHERS. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GOES OUT TO ALL THE FAMILIES WHO LOST THEIR LOVED ONES THEY WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
