Hummmmm, does anyone remember what happened on September 11th? Or am I God's only witness?
I remember waking up in the morning, making by 4 year old boy's breakfast, putting on his shoes, combing his hair, drinking a cup of coffee, checking my e-mail, watering the flowers, then off to school for 9:30 am.
When I left my house I knew nothing...as nothing had happened yet..when I got to the school a few miles away...I knew something serious had happened... I seen the look in the teachers eyes..not knowing whether to send them home for saftey or keep school in session.
I was ashamed @ the fact I knew nothing...the first think I did when I got home was turn on the News.
I turned on the tv to see the first tower hit and people in panic. I watched and wiped tears until the second tower was hit I now know what happened to the first tower, when I seen this I had a serious emotional breakdown. An emotional encounter I never knew I had for my fellow Americans.
Why did I cry? Why did I care? Why was I mad?
All this goes through everyone's minds..yet noone can answer for me.
I will tell you WHY?
I cryed because I never had the chance to visit the towers. I cryed because I knew there were people and school kids going to die. I cryed because the people needed my help and all I did was take my boy to school and wipe tears infront of the tv all day.
I care because I'm an American, I'm a free woman with a beautiful boy whom goes to school and we try to get by and just live. And then one day your in an emotional panic because your country had been disabled by a few men who claim to be followers of God and decide to mass murder for a cause.
What was the cause?
Where are they now? Witch building is next? How many of these people are there out there? Is one of them my neighbor? Is one a pizza deliver?
Or my doctor?
I think about this all the time, it's a frequant silent question I ask myself...
But, why?
So... this is for all the terriorists out there... America is watching you, and we are ready.
And to all the Americans, British, Russian, white, black, purple, yellow people.. whom ever you are, who decide to go fight for my flag...to keep my country free of harms way, keep me safe on my next trip to Cancun, keep my boy safe while in his school, I love you all, and appreciate you,
I dream of you, I prey for you, my boy depends on you. America needs you. Lady Liberty shines her light on you. I fly my Flag high for you. From sea to shining sea.
We have the Just Cause!
