I was sitting in front of my tv with my 2 year old Raven and 3 year old Justin when it first came across the tv. I was in disbelief that a plane hit the WTC. I thought it was just a normal plane crash. But later to find out it wasn't.
I began to cry because i knew we was going to war and i didn't want my children to grow up with a life like that. I remember the stories from my grandma about world world 2 and the depression and i didnt want to go through anything like that. I held my children tight in my arm hoping and pray for it all to end. I think i was extra fearful because i live so close to a nuclar power plant{3 mile island}thinking the teorrist would attack that next. Still to this day 1 year later to be exact we are still feeling the pain from what happened. I never thought i would ever live through something like this. I have learned how ever that it is possible for complete strangers to pull together and make anything possible. Thats why I love this country so and its because we all want the same thing FREEDOM.
