i was running late on september 11th. my daughter had missed the bus and i had to take my boys out of the house without breakfast. so after dropping her off at school we went to mcdonalds. while there an employee said that a plane had hit the world trade center. i thought ... what a horrible accident. i went to the car to run some errands and thats where i heard about the second plane. i decided to go home. i had left the television on in my dash to get my daughter to school on time and as we walked in the door we saw the trade center on the screen. my then two year old son said " mommy why are the buildings smoking, isn't that bad for you?" and i had to stop watching. he had no idea how right he was. after that i tried to watch during naps, and all i could think was my little babies would never get to feel as free as i did as a child. feeling safe is a part of freedom and i would give anything to have it back......
