Wings of Flight

Dedicated to those who Lost Loved Ones on September 11, 2001

Liz woke up to a beautiful tuesday morning. She looked to her side to find that her husband had already had left for work. Everything seemed to be fine, her mother who had come up from Texas where she lived most of her life in, was snoring loudly, and her two little ones were fast asleep but something just didnt seem right.

She and her husband, Jeremy Johnson had been married five wonderful years and had two beautiful children. One of them was Millie who was only 3 months old and a 2 year old (who looked so much like his father) named Daniel.

Liz rolled out of bed and tuned the tv on to see the twin towers in flames.
"Oh dear Lord; how could this happen? I never dream-" she murmured the prayer to herself and was interupted by the sound of her cell phone.

She searched her purse and finally found it. "hello" she sounded a little worried. Indeed she had a right to be, her husband, who had taken a flight early that morning, could have been on one of those planes.

"Honey It's me," relife washed over at the sound of her husbands voice. But she quickly noticed the distress in his own voice.

"Jeremy whats wrong," some concern and worry coming back to her voice.

"My planes been hijacked. I think the guys are some where from the middle east"

"NO, please, no. I must be dreaming" Liz cried out, almost fainting.

"I just want you to know that I love you," he told her bravely.

"And I you. Oh Jeremy what will I do without you," she quivered.

"I have a notion that they're going to try to hit Camp David," he said showing concern in his voice,"Me and the rest of the passengers are goin' to try to over take the plane and ground it to keep them from hurting anyone else"

"Is there anyway you can ground the plane without-"

"No" he said assured that he would never make it out alive.

"Jeremy how will I ever make it without
you" she cried letting the tears run down her cheeks freely making her eyes rep and blury.

"I know, I know. Just remember our verse 'Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will up help thee; yea I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness' Isaiah 41:10"

There was angrey cry in the back ground" Listen I got to go I love you Bye" and with that he was gone.

She leaped on to her bed and cried herself back asleep.
