911DA Story: Story

I woke up on September 11th at 5:50 AM. at six that morning I was supposed to call the hospital and find out if they had a room for me. I was pregnant and my original due date was Sep. 4th. I was scheduled to be induced on the 11th. When I was finally able to get to the hospital it was around three that afternoon. My daughter was born at 8:16PM that evening. I watched the horrible destruction of New York and the Pentagon on TV the entire day. It was a strange feeling having something so wonderful and so precious occur on such a dark day for America. My daughter was the bright spot born on a day when pure evil destroyed so many lives and changed us all forever. God is good, and he is faithful. We as a nation need to turn our hearts to him. He gives us strength,and peace, and hope. God Bless America!!!!
