Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I will always remember exactly where i stood when it all happened. I was at work and the doctor i worked for told us of the first plane and we couldn't believe such a terrible accident could have taken place but as we turned on the television just before the second plane hit we watched in horror. As we watched the second plane hit it felt as though someone kicked you as hard as they could in the stomach. I was so scared and confused with what was going on I was frozen. After realizing the great amount of loss in lives we were gonna have and hearing of the other 2 planes crashing the world felt like it had just stopped. My first instinct after i was able to move my feet was to run as fast as I can and get my daughter and hold on to her as tightly as I could. Even though we were not directly involved with losses the pain was sharp in your heart. I felt dazed for the entire rest of that day and I creid for several months later. Even though no one I knew perished that day I still felt a deep sorrow for the thousands of people who did lose someone. As time went on and things started going back to as much a normal state as possible, the pain in my heart stayed. To this day I cry and I pray for those who were lost and for those who lost someone. This event is something truly hard to understand because it was senseless. We lost many mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sons and daughters all because we stand for freedom and it made no sense. I don't think we will ever fully understand why this happened to our country nor do I think we will ever fully recover. One thing I do know for sure is I hold my child a bit closer and hug her a bit tighter and I never ever forget to say I Love You to anyone I care about. To those who lost loved ones on that horrific day we will never be able to say we know how you feel or what you are going through, but we can say our prayers will always be with you and your losses will never be in vain because we will never forget.
