911DA Story: Story

I am only 23 years old and I remember driving to work and hearing all this alarm on the radio and me being young thought nothing of it until I really listened and then I got goose bumps. I did not ever in my lifetime I would see such tragidy and I live thousands of miles away and it still touched me.
I found out that a girl I went to high school with lost her sister there. I may not have been great friends with her but I knew her and that was good enough. I came home that night and just kissed and loved my children. I try to live life like it is my last day here and I have nothing more to do but live it the best I can. I hope this never happens again and I think we all need to take a step back and look at the world and make it better. We are destroying our lives.
