My daughter lives in Northern Ontario& I in Southern Ontario.We talk by phone very rarely as the cost is very high so i was surprised to receive a call from her very early in the morning(she woke me up)Mom she said do you have on the t.v. No I don't I said you woke me up,she was crying and told me to put on the t.v. and that one of the world trade centre towers had been hit by a plane, no way I said you must have a movie on or some-thing, just put it on mom please, by now she was really hysterical so I ran down-stairs put on the t.v. just as the other plane hit, Oh My God i said to her a plane has hit the other tower, by then we both knew that this was not an accident ..My God what have they done I said to her,we stayed on the phone longer than we ever had, both of us watching the t.v. crying and praying..To this day I cry for the lives lost and the familys of the people who died. I have a clip of Enya's world trade centre tribute on my computer and showed it to a friend just 2 weeks ago and we both sat and cried..God Bless all who were affected by this cowardly attack.The police and fire-fighters of New York City were amazing, they walked into hell with-out hesitation.Mayor Rudy a rock. President Bush, amazing, we could use people like them here in Canda.God Bless America and the free world, God Keep us Free..Linda
