911DA Story: Story
I was at school in Child Care class when this terrible tragedy occured. I was sitting there talking with my friends and doing my work. Then all of a sudden we heard that a plane had crashed into the twin towers. And I just sat there and I couldn't even believe that this was true. That someone out of God's act would do such a thing too such innocent people. That is such a shame that they think killing people is going too make them look like winners. I am so lucky that I didn't lose anyone I knew but in away I did because together as one we are all connected as a country as a whole. Even though I didn't know them it still affects me because people lost the ones they love and I sit and think that could have been me.My heart and soul goes out too all that have lost someone. I am praying for everyone each day. We can't bring back those that have died but we can remember them and let their name live on forever. If there is anyone out there that just needs someone too talk too please feel free too email me. The terriosts haven't won they have made just strong and more alert too what is out there in this world. it digust me too know that people can go on living knowing they have killed innocent people. I can't say I am sorry enough too those of u that have lost someone.Losing someone is the worst thing in the world. I wrote a poem and I wanted too include it
Nation of Survivors
In the bright September morning without warning too us all
A few thousand lives were shattered and we watched two buildings fall.
And a billon souls felt empty,and the flags at half-mast fly.
In the memory of the innocent which didn't have too die.
We've lost brothers,sisters,cousins. We've lost family and friends.
But we've made the choice not too forget their lives and tragic ends.
Though we've had our share of troubles we have put them all aside.
As a nation grieves we find ourselves defending them with pride.
We're a nation of survivors,with one heart we share a tear.
But we live too serve the memory,not giving in to fear.
Though they try too take security with the things they've done and saud.
All their acts of inhumanity bring unity instead.
So we stand here as a family. One heart,one soul,one voice.
We are challenged by this moment, and united here by choice.
Sept 11 changed many of othe lives especially mine. I am now living day by day instead of month by month. I look at what I have and know that I am so thankful too still have my family and friends here with me. But there is still a hole in my heart because people have died, not just any people but innocent people that belonged too a great family that leave kids or loved ones. That might have not got too say good bye. So people please tell your loved ones how u feel about each other each day because they may not be there the next day. There is this guy from youngstown ohio his name is Jim Loboy and he walked from youngstown all the way too new york. All together he walked 444 miles because he wanted too be there for the people that have lost someone and he raised so much money.He has a great heart and his journey will never be forgotten.
My love goes out too all of you
God Bless
I love you all and I will keep praying for you everyday.
