Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was on my way out the door to take my daughter to her 2 month doctor's appointment when my husband called me from work to tell me a plane had crashed into the WTC. He didn't know any more details but he said he would call me when he did. We did not watch tv so we did not have cable or local access. I was numb for most of the day, just waiting to find out what had happened. When all of the banks closed down, I knew something very traumatic had happened. I couldn't get online to get any information either. I felt lost and in a time warp. I did not realize how important having everything at my fingertips had become. When I realized what actually had happened, I remember thinking about my daughter and how my husband and I had gone on a spiritual journey to decide whether or not to even try to get pregnant. And here she was, barely 2 months old and having to be a part of this day. I feel sad that she had to know this but I am not saddened that we kept moving on with our lives. She will not know fear and will not live in terror because I refuse to let ANYONE think that they can have control over her and us. She will always know what it is like to be an American and she will always have the same, if not more, freedoms afforded to her that her father and I have. We pray more often now and say a blessing at the table, no matter where we are. I am no longer concerned about "offending" others in a public place because we practice an alternative religion. I want my daughter to see that we have faith in a higher being and that with faith and love, all is possible.
