Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: What a day!!! The day started out as just an ordinary one, with the kids going to school, husband to work..........and the most beautiful, clear sky. The memory of how that day began will be permanently etched in my mind for the rest of my life. While on the phone, someone asked me what was going on with the World Trade Center and I had no idea what the gentleman was talking about. After our phone conversation, I checked the internet and saw the images of the the crash. It was the most unbelievable and shocking thing that I could ever imagine. Then I heard about the Pentagon and being so close to Washington D.C. it was quite a horror. The first thing that entered my mind once we realized that this was a terrorist attack, was "What do I tell my children" and how can I protect them? How do you explain to innocent beings that there are such hateful and vengeful people who want to kill us? That was so difficult to do without letting out all of my anger and fear. The next day, my 8 year old did not want me to go to work because he was afraid that airplanes were going to crash into our home. Now how do you try to reassure a child when you are containing such fears within? I hope that we never have to witness this again, but... I think of my friend whose husband was on Flight 77 that crashed into the Pentagon and I think of how the day began...just an ordinary day. Everyone was going about their business and suddenly everything was changed in each of our lives in such a short moment.
