911DA Story: Story
It was around 6 a.m. something (not a morning person) and my phone rang. It was my best-friend, Carol, with this strange sound to her voice telling me "turn on the T.V. something is wrong with the world." Sure, okay and what were you drinking last night."
I turned the television on just seconds before the second plane hit. I have never been so awake so quickly. Seeing the second plane hit torn through me like it did the Tower. I began to shake, cry and wondering WHY? WHO? WHAT THE HELL IS THIS GOING ON? WHO WOULD DO THIS TO AMERICA. Yes, I am aware of the hatred some have against us, but to do THIS? It has to be a "madman." It was!
Watching as the Towers melted down all I could think about is MY GOD, THERE ARE PEOPLE LOSING THEIR LIVES. CHILDREN, WIVES, HUSBANDS, BROTHERS, SISTERS, FAMILY LOSING THEIR LOVED ONES. As the world watched in devastation, HELPLESS!
But as we know who and how we are; "WE THE PEOPLE OF USA STOOD POWERFUL AND STRONG AND MOSTLY 'UNITED.' No one was going to take our integrity and pride away with such "stupidity and evilness."
It was a day I couldn't wait to get to work (for once). When I did, I walked in to see looks on faces as mine looked. Disblieving, shock, terror and SORROW!
Today, being the first anniversary of this devastation, I was in the same state of mind as one year ago. BEWILDERMENT AND GRIEF FOR ALL THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE WE LOST, NOT JUST THEIR FAMILIES, WE ALL LOST!
Watching the news and around the world honoring USA and this event made we know once again how good the world can be and out of this tragedy WE ARE ALL HOLDING HANDS IN UNITY. September 11, 2001 was the day WE BECAME ONE! Let us never, never return to yesterday because what we have become is THE GREATEST!
I BEG, PLEASE, LETS NOT LOSE THIS INSIGHT GOD HAS GIVEN US TO REMAIN THE GOOD, DECENT PEOPLE HE MEANT FOR THE WORLD TO BE.
AMERICA, I LOVE U. WE ARE STRONG, POWERFUL AND WHEN "SHIT IS THROWN AT US, WE KNOW HOW TO MAKE A BOND THAT'S INVINCIBLE. THAT'S WHAT WE ARE!!!!!
GOD BLESS US AND KEEP US SAFE. AMEN
