I HAD JUST TOOK MY SON TO SCHOOL AND WHEN I ARRIVE HOME I ALWAYS HAVE BREAKFAST I WAS WATCHING THAT MORNING WHEN THE PLANES HIT THE TOWERS. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ACCIDENT JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. THEN I REALIZED IT WAS NOT I JUST PUT MY HANDS TO MY CHEST AND TEARS CAME TO MY EYES. I COULD NOT BELIEVE SOMEONE COULD DO SOMETHING SO HORRIBLE. I HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN THERE DESPAIR AND WAS SO SAD AND HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR THE VICTIMS ALL ALONG. I WATCHED THE CEREMONIES TODAY THEY WHERE VERY NICE.
