Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My 11 month old daughter Elizabeth and I had just finished breakfast that morning and were sitting in our TV room watching Good Morning America, as we did every morning. At about 8:45am I had left the room to use the bathroom. When I came back into the room I was surprised to see Good Morning America was still on. I saw that one of the trade center buildings was on fire. I sat on the floor with Elizabeth and we watched as the tragedy unfolded. I could not believe that while we were watching the first tower burning and everyone on TV was trying to figure out what had happened we witnessed the second plane crash into the other tower. At that moment I hugged my daughter and thought our world has changed forever and Elizabeth will never know what it was like before 9/11/01. I also thanked God that Elizabeth was too little to understand what had happened. We sat on the floor for a long while watching TV that morning and as Elizabeth's nap time drew near I had a very hard time letting her go. Even though we had no loved ones lost in ths tragedy, I felt as if I never wanted to let my daughter go again. I finally got the courage to take her upstairs & put her down for her nap. I don't remember weather I called my husband, who is a career Fireman in Haddon Heights NJ, or he called me. We both couldn't believe what we were watching. I think I stayed glued to the TV all day talking to realitives and friends on the phone and expressing our disbelief of what we were watching.This was a day that I will probably never forget. I pray for all the people who died and hope that whoever was behind this will be punished.
