Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was just getting up to get my children ready for school, when the phone rings. It is my mother on the east coast calling me to tell me that a plane just hit one of TWC towers. I thought no big dail. There is little damage. Big plains aren't allowed to fly that close. it's a small plane. No one got really hert. My mother yelled at me to turn the TV on. I couldn't beleive what I was seeing. I tought it was a seen from a movie. Averything was in slow motion. Nothing seemed real. I was still sleeping, Only a drem I kept saying to myself as the tearys started to rool down my face. My children came into my room at that point and as they were asking me what I was doing with the TV on in the morring when it was agenest the rulls on a school day-The second plane hit. Isaw it on TV. I saw what was bought to happen, and I couldn't move. I couldn't keep my children from seeing this mass destrotion of life. Then they went down I looked at my children grabed them and held them. I thought that this was the begaing of the end, It still may be. Then the questions started comming. I did my best to answer their questions, and hide my true fear. One year latter and today I drop my children off at school. And my son is a mess, and trys to play sick. I can see the fear in his eyes. He is trying to hold back the tears. My son was only 9 when this happened, now he is 10 and wored that he will die in war. My doughter looks at me and only says "Mommy it's Septerber 11" I tell her "I know. Now it's time to get into class. Have a great day." She was 8, and know is 9. It is a shame that a Child of yesterday has to become an adult of today. God, Bless us All.
