I'm from the UK and knew no-one directly or indirectly involved in Sept 11. My daughter was almost 6 mths old when it happened and part of my daily routine was feeding her then nursing her while watching the news. I remember looking from her to the news and back again and not really believing that in a world where someone so beautiful and perfect as my baby existed there could also exist people who would take that many innocent lives.

I clearly remember being pregnant during 9/11. My daughter wasnt born until that December. I remember sitting there and thinking that my daughter was going to be born into this terrible world. I cried a very long time thinking about bringing a new baby into this world. It is still, now 7 years later, that our country is having to endure such a long hard fight.

On September 11th at the same time the first plane hit the Twin Towers I was in the doctors office finding out my son was breach. My doctor scheduled the C-section for the following Monday on September 17th. I was so happy to know when I was going to have my son. When leaving the doctors office I called a family member to tell them the good news. That's when I found out what had happened to our country. It was hard to understand exactly what had happened until I showed up at work and everyone was watching the first Twin Tower on fire. The next thing I knew it had fallen. It was suppose to be one of the happiest days knowing when I was going to have my first child. All I felt was a deep sadness that I was going to have my son and the country was in such a mess. All the lives lost that day has never left my mind. It is still one of the saddest days in my life.

my daughter was born sept 6 2001 and my niece was sept12 that year and the birth of the girls helped to keep in prospective that life is unpredictable and can be tragic but however the cycle started over with the girls they were the hope we held onto for the world

I know where you are coming from! My son was born on October 17th. That tragedy did put things in a different perspective. Right there with you...
