First of all, I'd like to give my condolences to all of those people who lost loved ones and may God have all of the victims in peace. For all of those who helped and volunteered in the aftermath, may God bless you all. You are all true heroes.
I remember so vividly where I was and how I felt on that terrible day. I think everybody has such a clear image of that day that it goes beyond saying, it will take a lifetime to forget. I was still in bed when I got a call from my boyfriend whom at the time lived in Chicago. He asked me to turn on the television and take a look at what was happening. When I turned on the television set, and in every single channel there it was! A plane had just crashed into one of the towers. They said it was an accident, then they moved to show the Pentagon. It can't be an accident. A few minutes later comes the second plane. I was so in disbelieve. I started crying, I couldn't believe what was going on. I had chills all through my body. I called my boss and told him that I'd be taking the day off.
The second plane crashing into the tower was the worst for me. Seeing how people out of desperation and anguish jumped out of the windows who knows how high up was just terrifying. I had never felt so hopeless as I felt that day. Nothing will ever be the same.
That day my whole family stayed home. We didn't do anything other than watch the news. Watch over, and over and over, the planes crashing into the towers. I remember back and although it was exactly one year ago, I can remember very clearly everything about that day.
I have a friend who works at the Los Angeles Airport with United Airlines and the first thing I did after I realized that that was one of the affected airlines was call her. Claudia was okay. She wasn't working that day. I thank God for that and pray for those who were there and for those passengers who died on that day.
Now, a year later we are still affected by that day. I still get those chills all over my body when I talk about that day. I still think about all of those people who died and those whose lives were affected. I pray for those who left this world as well as for those who stayed and have not recouperated from there loss.
May God Bless everyone, living and dead. God Bless America!!
