On September 11, 2001 I was at work listening to the radio. My boss and I had heard just a few disturbing words of what the DJ had said. The tv was turned on immediately. I remember sitting on one of the empty desks watching the chaos in the streets. Out of the corner of one of the cameras came another plane that sliced right through the other tower. Some employees had gathered in the office to watch with me. A customer had walked in and not one person was able to gather a single thought other than what just happened. My boyfriend had called from a site he was working on. He had no television or radio. I told him what happened and he thought it was a sick joke. I couldn't believe he didn't believe me.

Things just haven't been the same anywhere I have gone. There is always someone talking about it or some song on the radio about 9/11. Today on the first anniversary I am making a nationwide wish for unity amongst family, friends and strangers of every race. I wish for love and peace. God Bless You All!
