I remember waking up to what may have been the most horific tragedy I have ever witnessed. I will never forget this day. As soon as I heard the news all I could think of was where all the people that I loved were at that very moment. I could not imagine the hurt and the pain that so many people had to go through because of the terrorist act. I also feel that even though I did not lose anyone close to me from this incident, I still feel that I have lost something, but in returned gained the strength to move on and always cherish life and to cherish the love of my family and friends. It has opened up a place in my heart that just keeps getting bigger every day, in a way I am thankful because it has given me something that has made me realize what I have and what I do with it. I just want to say to all the families who have lost their loved ones that they are not gone, they are watching over us from the heavens above and will always be with you.
