On 9/11/01, I was on my way to work via the Garden State Parkway going to North Brunswick, NJ. I had my radio on, was in my car, by myself, like thousands of others traveling on the parkway making their way to work or ther destinations. When announceded the first plane hit, there were many contridicting stories on the radio, I was still in my car when the sencond plane hit, just arriving at work, when I enterend my place of employmentment people were cryng and trying to get as much informaintin as possible. My coworker had a daugher working at tower onee
we tried franticly for hours to locate her. Finally though a call from a coworker of hers we discovered she was out of the building and not injured.. I had many friends I worried abouttthat day of their wereoubouts. It took many hours, and days to find out of their wellbeing. This is a day I will never forget, and no one should ever let slip from there minds and hearts. I am wriing this just after watching the one year dedication to all those who lost their lives due to this act of terror on America. I cry for those lives lost, and my heart ackes for those who have to continue with their empty spaces in their lives. I can only say, which is hard to imagine, carry on and be strong for yourself and your family, mainly the small childereen. Teach your children to be caring and loving and not to continue in bitterness.. But be a strong AMERICAN for those lives lost ... You are our future now.
