I ARRIVED A WORK A BUNCH OF US FILED INTO THE BOSSES OFFICE, TO WATCH HIS T.V. TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON IN NEW YORK AND WASHINGTON. THEN THE TOWERS STARTED TO COME DOWN. MY HEART SANK. I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES. ALL THOSE FAMILIES TORN APART. I THEN STARTED TO WORRY ABOUT A FRIEND I HAVE IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. DO TO ALL THE PEOPLE WORRIED ABOUT FRIENDS AND FAMILY THE LINES WERE BUSY THE ONLY WAY WAS E-MAIL. I TRIED TO E-MAIL HIM BUT I WOULDN'T FIND OUT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS THAT HE WAS ALRIGHT. BUT HE DID LOOSE SOME OF HIS FRIENDS. HE WORKED AT GROUND ZERO HE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE WORST THING HE HAD EVER SEEN. HE TOLD ME SAY A LOT OF PRAYERS WE CAN SURE USE THEM. SO ME AND MY FAMILY PRAYED FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THAT DAY EFFECTED. WE ALSO PRAYED THAT SOME GOOD WOULD COME OUT OF A TRAGGEDY SUCH AS THIS. ONE THING THAT DID, IS THAT WE ARE ALL SO MUCH CLOSER TO OUR NEIGHBOORS THAN WE HAVE BEEN IN A VERY LONG TIME. IT TAUGHT US STRENGTH IS IN UNITY. WE ARE A MELTING POT OF DIFFERENT CULTERS AND FAITHS BUT NO MATTER WHAT YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU NEED HELP NO MATTER WHAT COUNTRY THEY COME FROM OR WHAT BELIEFS THEY HAVE. THEY WILL HELP YOU THAT IS WHAT MAKES THIS COUNTRY GREAT. YOU CAN COUNT ON YOUR NEIGHBOOR.
