on september 11, 2001. I WAS AT HOME WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD CHILD. WHEN I HEARD THE NEWS FROM MY MAILMAN, I REALIZED THAT MONENT I FELT LIKE A CHILD. SINCE I WAS 16, I LIVED IN NY. I NEVER HEARD OF THE TWIN TOWERS? UNTIL THEN. FEELING LIKE A CHILD AGAIN, I FELT BAD FOR ALL THE CHILDREN THAT DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THIS EVENT THAT WILL HORRIZE THEM FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. LIKE A CHILD , I WAS SCARED, FRIGHTENED, AND FELT LIKE "WAS THIS THE END EVERYONE WAS TALKING ABOUT"? I'M 32 YEARS OLD. I'M A GROW WOMEN. WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT, I SAID TO MYSELF. THAT DAY I CALLED MY FAMILY, AND BOYFRIEND. I WAS HAVING A BAD DAY IN THE FIRST PLACE. NOW, WILL THIS COUNTRY END? I KEEP WONDERING. THIS IS NOT A QUESTION, THIS IS REALITY? LIFE GOES ON AND RATHER YOUR AFRAID, OR NOT. YOU STILL GO ON. I FEEL FOR THE VICTIMS OF SEPT.11TH. I FEEL WORST FOR THE PRESIDENT OF THE USA AND THE SUVIVORS OF THIS ATTACK. TODAY IS SEPT.11TH, I STAYED IN AND STILL DON'T FEEL SAFE AND IT'S BEEN A YEAR. I LITE A CANDLE ONLINE FOR THE VICTIMS OF TODAY AND FOR US, THE SIRVIVORS.
