On that day, I was home on the internet ordering my 12 month old daughter's Halloween costume. I completed the order and proceeded to do my everyday housework when the phone rang, it was my step-mother in tears and shock telling me to put on the tv. The first plane had hit the Trade Center and then soon after we saw the second plane hit while we were still talking to each other. We were crying and screaming. As if that wasn't enough, there were still two more planes that would come down, killing more innocent people. When I heard there were more attacks feared, I ran to our local elementary school and grabbed my 7 & 8 year old boys to take them home with me. I cried almost the whole time, trying to hide my face from them and not scare them. I really feared the end was near. I told my boys they could play inside with any toy they wanted (even the irrirtating noisy ones I would often hide!). I let them eat candy and drink soda. Then I called my husband, my mother and my closest family and friends. In a panic, I quickly told them how much I love them and hung up to sit and watch....it was all we could do. Watch in horror and wait. Today I am very tearful when it comes to reflecting back. I remember not sleeping more than 2 or 3 hours a night for a period of two months - maybe more. I still wake up. I hate it when a plane flies over me I'm filled with a fright that I've never felt before. I used to love to go to Logan Airport in Boston which is not too far from our home. I was fascinated by planes as a child and my father would take me there to see them take off and land just for the heck of it on weekends. Kind of a little field trip. Hopefully, I won't feel like this forever. God Bless all VICTIMS of this tragedy and all the SURVIVORS. AND please bless those that are living in fear and uncertainty, give them ( us ) the strength to defy the intentions of these horrible terrorists and the people who support them. May they meet their maker and suffer. These are not peaceful religious people, they are radicals that are making a warped statement of jealousy and hatred against innocent people. GOD BLESS AMERICA and if you don't like us, please do not come here as you are not welcome.

When I heard about what Happened I was frantic. My friend David had just telephoned me to tell me, after I got of the Phone with him My ,now former, girlfriend came to the door, she was horrified.
After we stood imbraced in each other for about half and hour I rang my friends Adam McGibbon ( He posted on this site too). I watched the tours fall. I had the TV on every Channel I taped Every coverage from when i heard about it. I was distraght. I new that there was a very slim but possible chance that my Dad may have been in New York or on a plane leaving Boston.
After a while I had calmed down but my Mum in America nd My Dad hadn't. Evrything was only begining for them.
I just hope they get the bugger that did this. As my Friedns says OSAMA SUX!

I remember my mom waking me up early in the morning, she turned the television on and told me to look. She told me that there were terror attacks going on. I couldn't help but laugh. I was thinking that this is a dirty joke. America is the strongest country, how can we be threatend by such a small country. But I have faith that we will not be broken down.

On that morning, I woke up, signed on AOL, and walked away from the computer. I was brushing my daughter's hair, getting her ready for school pictures. While she was finishing up in the bathroom, I glanced at my computer monitor. My friend John sent me a message. "TURN YOUR TV ON!" I did. Both planes had already crashed the towers.
I ran to wake up my husband after the first reports of the Pentagon being hit.
My heart broke into a million pieces when the first tower fell. I was not expecting that. I was standing up at the time, and fell to my knees. I was crying hystercialy, and my husband had to calm me down. My life hasn't be the same since that day.
