Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: We had just woken up and as we lay in bed, turned on the NBC Today Show. We thought we had somehow turned into a movie. Within a few minutes, we saw the second plane hit! As we watched in horror and disbelief, it began to sink in that this was really happening and it was happening live. The days, weeks, months and years that have followed have seen our nation plunge in to a very dark place. Growing up, it was one thing to come to know that life was not a trouble free playground. The most fortunate and protected of children eventually lose their childhood innocence and survive. But this, this was the loss of adult innocence of a magnitude I could not understand. These are the things that use to happen on the other side of the globe in places unfamiliar to people who were little more than tragic statistics. It wasn't real! Now we are truly one world. There is no escape from the madness, terror, senseless hate and barbaric deeds. The world will never be the same, or more troubling, perhaps it will stay the same, but now there is no refuge or foolproof defense.
