Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was at work on that horrific day. Every thing just seemed to stop. My fellow employees and I were gathered around the T.V. watching history before our eyes. Our customers (roofing contractors) were coming in and stopping tiere buisy day to watch with us. I couldn't help thinking this was just the beginning of somthing big that was about to happen to our glorious country. I wanted to call my parents to tell them how important they were to me. My four small children were at school and I wasn't sure if it would be safe to leave them there. I had all of these thoughts racing through my head. I remember looking at the sky alot. It was so blue and clear. There were no planes. I thought of how pieceful it seemed here in Indidana and how chaotic it must be at that some moment in Ney York. The rest of the day wnet on. I had to try and continue my daily work. I made it through the day at work only to go home and try to explain to my children what had happened. They were to young to understand how big the things that happend were. I explaind that there were alot of lives lost. Hondres of thousands of people who were at work. They couldn't comprehend the totel loss our country had suffered. I took pennies and laid them out on the table, just to give them an idea of what that number looked like. they were in amazment. Just last night (9/11/02) my daughter who is only eight said " mommy i can't sleep becasue i keep thinking about the kids who lost their mommies and daddies." I was speachless. I tried to comfort her, telling her that God would take care of everything. That event has changed my life. Everything means alot more to me now. I know how quickly somthing can be taken away. My mom always said everything has a reason. God has a plan for all of us. I try to believe, and let him (God) handle what I have trouble handling. God bless our country!!
