911DA Story: Story

I was sitting in school and all I remember was school stopped for a moment of silence. Then after 3 minutes we were told that the U.S.A had an attack. I then went home tearful. i got a call from my friends mother, Tasha , she told when Sarae had gone to the U.S.A she had been killed in the incident along with her aunt and uncle. I then sat in silence for the longest period of time and started sobbing.
I wish it had of been me and not her. It gets so close to when these attacks happened it got me thinking I should tell my side of the story. I now know that everyone should always forgive and say the I Love Yous to your parents and everybody and warmth each other with hugs.
why was it her? and not me? I need to get this out, I`ve been dying to!

A 13 year old girl from London Ontario
