Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It started out as an ordinary day, I got up at 6:30am as I always did. Left for work at 7:00am to go to our meeting that day at 7:30am. I was 6 months pregnant at the time, and it was a very happy time in my life. My husband was facing his first baby (boy) and as happy as can be about it. Our first break from the meeting came up at 10:00am as I walked out of the room in to the "break/lunch" room, the TV was on....and tons of people standing around it, I of course wondered what all the commotion was all about as I squeezed in between people to see it (being pregnant it was not easy). Then I saw......my heart fell to the floor, and the blood from my head ran down to my feet. I stood there and watched in horror and I could not belive what I saw. Being emotional enough as it was with horomones flowing through me, I felt like all those people were my family. I feel for everyone of you who lost someone that day....I too have lost a loved one. Not that day, but it was over 20 yrs ago, I was 9 yrs old, my brother was 10. My brother, whom had a rough life I found, had commited suicide at age 10. All of those feelings I had that day...came back. I sent my best to all of you, and may you still celebrate birthdays, and New Years, and Christmas..because if you don't, then you give our enemies the satisfaction. Our lives must go on, it is another mountain we must climb, and together, we can do it. Sincerely, Vicki H.
