On September 11, 2001 I received a phone call from my brother, which was unusual because he never calls me that early in the morning. I heard him screeming "Oh my God, the world is on fire" I couldnt understand him at first because I was still half asleep. I asked him to calm down and repeat what was just said. He told me to turn on the TV and I asked what channel? I didnt need to know, It was on every channel. Images of the World Trade Center on fire. All kinds of thoughts went in my head. What happened? Who did this? Where are the people who worked there? Then, I saw the second plane. I couldnt say anything. I just broke into tears and I called my mom. I told my family that I loved them over and over. I will never forget that day. Today is September 11, 2002. Although its been 1 year. I woke up crying for all those who lost their lives in this senseless act. I pray for them and their families. We will not forget. We love you always.....God Bless America!
