Hi my name is Margaret and I was at work on september 11,2001 when the planes hit the Towers. I was overcome with emotion when I saw the news. I was very sad and very nervous about what was going on in New York. I left work to go pick up my 9 year old son so I could be close to him, than I went home to be with my husband. We watched the news the whole day and could not believe what we were seeing. Life will never be the same for all of us, especially for the familes who lost loved ones.

Life as we knew it will never be the same because of a senceless act. I stayed home the next day as I was too upset to go to work and I kept my son home from school. My husband also stayed home, and we all stayed together and made sure we let each other know how much we loved each other as you never know what will happen.

On September 11, 2001 that evening I found out that I was pregnant, I guess the saying is true when one life ends another starts. I will let my 3 month old son know exactly what went on the day of 9/11/01. I want to let all the familes of 9/11/01 know that my heart goes out to them and that there family members they lost are my HERO"S.

Sincerely,
Margaret
