Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was at work when my sister called to tell me something major had happened in New York. She had access to the T.V. and kept me updated on the phone. On one of the calls she said that the World Trade Centers had been hit and were on fire,no sooner than we had hung up that she called right back and said that the Pentagon had also been hit and the first tower had fallen. Being a military wife for 20 years I can only say that I've had this type of feeling once and that was when Desert Storm started and my husband was there and not knowing where he was. I could not imagine how many lives had been lost that day. When I got home that night the scenes on the T.V. were undescriblable and watching the death toll rise over the next few days were very hard. The images are something I will never forget. It has changed my life forever, things that seemed so important now were so small in the realm of things. I grieve for all who lost someone on that terrible day. I now pray everyday and keep my family, friends and all who matter to me so much closer and tell them each time I see or speak to one of them how much I love them. I can only hope that the children who lost a parent that day will only feel pride and love when remembering those that they lost. Sometimes it seems such a waste to bring children into this sometimes cruel world. My greatest wish for the future is that one of those children will be the great peacemaker of all time. May we never forget what happened that day and strive to make sure that it never happens again.
