Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My day had already begun and I was preparing my seven year old for school and my three year old for preschool. We were watching the news for the weather when they anchor person stated that there was breaking news to be reported. As the anchor began to discuss the initial plane hitting the tower the second plane hit. My children and I watched in horror. I turned off the television and phoned my mother who works in Anderson, Indiana. Me, my children and my mother said a prayer over the phone. I took my children to thier schools and went to my office. My office was very quiet and we discussed the events amongst ourselves and tried to make since of it all. Once my children and I were home I talked with them and answered any questions that they had. I am a social worker and my job is to help people. It was very difficult seeing people in need. My children understand my vision in life of helping others and we were able to talk about how we can help even though we are not there. It was a sad, memorable and a great learning experience...all in one. This has taught many great lessons...pray and make sure you are in God's will because none of us are promised tomorrow. God Bless America. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
