I was visiting the community daycare when I saw the news flash in reference to Tower 1. I was so amazed to know that a World Icon was hit then the news showed Tower 2 and the people outside building,people in the street and the people who were trying to get out. I immediately started praying because I have never seen anything like that only in the movies and those were created images. The people in the street running for shelter and the people who were trapped inside buildings near and on the street. I cried,prayed,and could only wonder who could have done something so sinister. I am a mother of three and a wife and I only had dreams of working at the World Trade Center. I was scared even here in Georgia. The families lives that were changed forever and so was mine. The passengers on the flight that fought for their lives and the passengers on flight that did not have enough time to react and the people that were trapped in the building; my heart went out to them. The world was changed forever. September 11th should be declared a National Holiday because of the tragic event. Some are back in there old ways and there are some who only use that day to remember what happended and the wonderful people who lost their lives. I will always remember September 11th for all.
