Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: 9/11/02: While enjoying a peaceful rest, i was interrupted by a phone call from my brother who was in school in Boston. He spoke with an almost calm tone, however, one of complete shock and revealed to me something that i wouldn't have ever dreamed of hearing in a nightmare. Having just awoken from sleeping, i didn't even believe, nor could I even grasp what grief, pain, and turmoil lie ahead. I didn't believe it until my brother made me get up and turn on the television, when the first building fell. I know that everyone can relate when I say that at that moment, I cannot even come close to describing what feeling took over my entire being. No words or tears could come anywhere near this feeling of complete shock and sadness. I was and am now, more than ever, probably the biggest fan of New York City. It's the city of my dreams, and has always been, coming from such a small town. The thought of my favorite city being attacked and buildings destroyed was one that I could not think of as a reality. I just had to visit New York City for spring break and the moment I actually saw the largest piece of actual land in the middle of downtown New York, nothing but cranes and dirt, all the disbelief and shock was released, for now it was more real than ever. This disaster has definitely given me a different look at life and the world and this change will take much time to get used to. I would like to send out my heart to all of those victims of the attack and their friends and family, as well as the entire nation. Even though I don't know anyone directly affected, I grieve and I can't describe how proud of the nation I am in its work to overcome such a destructful and difficult time in history. Thank you for hearing my words and God bless America! I LOVE NEW YORK! Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
