I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO MANHATTAN NOR HAVE I EVER VISITED THE TWIN TOWERS. I HAD ALWAYS WANTED TO, AND NOW NEITHER ME OR MY CHILDREN WILL HAVE THAT CHANCE EVER AGAIN. I WATCHED IN HORROR THE MORNING OF 9/11 AS THE EVENTS UNFOLDED AND SAT GLUED TO THE TV THE REST OF THE DAY NOT BELIEVING WHAT I WAS SEEING. THE FACT THAT SOMEONE COULD HARM SO MANY INNOCENT LIVES AND SAY IT IS FOR THEIR "GOD". NO GOD WOULD ALLOW SUCH A THING.I CRY AND PRAY FOR ALL THOSE LIVES LOST AND FOR THE FAMILIES WHO MOURN THEM BECAUSE I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW I WOULD FEEL IN THAT SITUATION OR HOW MY FAMILY WOULD COPE IF IT HAD BEEN ME. IT IS A DAY THAT WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
