Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was in our new home, sound asleep, as I heard the phone ring. It was my husband at work telling me to get up and turn on the television, that the one of the twin towers and the pentegon had been hit. My first reaction was "OH MY GOD" as I instantly awoke. My mother, who is deaf, was staying with us to help us get settled in. I ran into the living room and turned on the TV and then ran and got my mother who was in the kitchen making coffee. I was in a panic as I told her to come quick to the TV. We sat and we watched in complete shock. Not quite sinking in, we watched the first tower fall. But as the second tower fell, so did the tears. Disbelief and sadness took over. My mom and I embraced each other as we cried and hardly any words were spoken. All we could think about were all of those people who were in those buildings and their families who lost them. My heart goes out to them. I then began to call family who live in Virginia. To make sure they were alright. And through the broken voices and tears "I Love You's" were shared as we realized our family was safe. As Americans, our patriotism grew. The American Flag is still displayed at our houses and in our cars and in our hearts. September 11th will be a day I will never forget.
