I was ssitting aroound watching t.v. and all of a sudden this special alert flashed across the t.v. I couldn't believe what had happen. My heart seemed to have stopped beating and it ached at the same time. It felt heavy and shattered. My eyes just started getting watery. All of a sudden my heart came back to life and I took a deep breath and felt all the pain that all those families felt when the news came out annoucing the tradegy of the twin towers. I imagined how they must of felt when they realized their loved ones were there. They were in danger. I don't know what I would of ddone. What could anybody really do? I prayed that everyone would be able to get out of there before anything else happen. Then the towers collapsed. I said "O noooo! That couldn't be happening. All those innocent people just disappeared like that The brave firemen that were still in there had no chance in escaping it. My prayers go out to all the families that lost their loved one in that tradegy. As the day was approaching, Sept 11th. I felt myself getting down. So very sad. It felt like it was just yesturday and not a year ago today. And my heart goes out to all them families. My prayers are with you all too. Today at work I lit a candle and took a moment to say a prayer. I send my love and God be with you all...
I'll never forget Sept 11, 2001.
