That morning started out great, I kissed my daughter a HAPPY BIRTHDAY it was her 8th b-day. Itold her get ready for school honey ,and my son got up all so just as normal. Then just as we're getting to ready to leave my husband yells they crashed a plain in the trade center, come quick hurry. I'm coming hold on. I realy did get it what are you saying? As I stood there my stomach was just falling down inside i people running every where on the t.v.! I realy didn't grasp what was taking place. Our children were i shock they said why would a plain do that did they make a mistake? This I didn't have answer to. Then before we left my husband screemed again BABE THEY DID IT AGAIN! I ran to the t.v. with my mouth wide open and tears running down my face. My husband said he saw an image fall from the tower. Now how do you tell your daughter to have a good b-day at school. When I droped my kids off at school I cried I realy didn't want let them go. If it happened there it could happen any where. By the time I got back home the first tower was starting to fall He called out again BABE BABE the tower is falling the tower is falling.(O My GOD what is going on ? why ?why?.)i looked at my husband and we held each other ,and I said they did get to say good buy. Crap Crap what the hell is going on ? I went to work we're women barbers and all of us we're angry. Then a Foriegn man came in our shop and the mood was so thick that I thought he might think we were going kick his butt. So I broke ice and said did you see what has happened this morning? He said in India that his family was very afraid. Man I felt so small in side I looked at him as the ememy. That night our house was quite my daughter wouldn't let us watch t.v. . She said that thoughs bad men messed up her Birthday. She didn't want to talk about it very much but she said i want to kick there butts. I told her that every person earth does too. She gave me a hug that she had never gave to me before, and so did my son . Even now I can't stop crying. When I see the flag I cry; this is not just freedom it's my right to believe in god ,ONE NATION UNDER HIM. That is what all thoughs hero's have gave there lifes that day for. My heart goes out to all the people who parished all so all the family's we love you and we will all ways remember. I told my daughter this year is a day, a day to celabrate there lives . I kissed her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY. GLAD TO BE AMERICAN
