I'll never forget my mom calling me hysterical at 6 A.M.
She was screaming that we were at war, and the world trade centers had been hit by a plane. All I could do was cry. I couldn't even move to turn on the TV. It wasnt true, I told my mom to shut up!!! Then I sat down & cried, my boyfriend joined me, and I then called my best friend. We sat there all day glued to the TV still not comprehending the size... of this destruction, the people that each had special lives were taken away from all of us. I still cry & will never forget...ever.
