She was just crying and crying. because my dad MR. Robson was on the 105th floor of the north tower. 5 minutes after watching the news. the phone rang i ran to pick it up. when i said hello the other person that called us was my dad. he called me to tell me and my mom and my brother, that i don't think i will be home tonight. theirs no way i am going to make it out of here. then my mom and my brother talked to my dad, and said their last words to my dad. then after we all said bye dad we love you. i took the phone but didn't hang up i just kept the phone by my ear and i could hear my dad sing the song.
