Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Well, this was a day to remember and never to forget. I was very devistating what I say on television. It was like a nightmare that I was actually living to see. Every channel on my television was broadcast to New York; Pennyslvania; Washington D.C.. Although I didn't know off anyone at the World Trade Center but tears came streaming down my face, I just felt so connected to these people who were trapped in the two buildings and not only that but, the passengers on these flights. I was imaganing my own loved ones trapped and honestly I can say this, "I am very thankful to God that none of my family members were involved in either incidents." I don't know how these terrorist would do such thing and think that they can get away with it. God is watching and I know during these last minutes, both passengers and co-workers of the World Trade Center was in God's Hands. So many lives for what cause? I ask myself that everyday since last year's incident. WHY???? It seems it was just yesterday it occured, but it's been a year. I was in the emergency room at Tri-City hospital around 10p.m. and it was broadcasting on t.v. and I was just thinking about I just wish I could be there to help them find those bodies. I was very sad and puzzled. Well, this year I met this guy who is now my significant other and the first question I asked him in February when we met was "When is your Birthday?" He replied, the famous day that will never be forgotten in the history of the world. I said, "what date may that be?" He replied, 911. I was shocked and speechless. Well, today is his 37th birthday and I called him first thing this morning to wish him a Happy Birthday and he sounded down. He said that it will always be a sad day in America. I told him that to look it at this way. Things happen for a reason, and to look at it that it took this for America to come together as one. My heart goes out to all the families and friends of those who's lives were forefully taken on 9/11/01. But, I am still trying to heal with what happen a year ago. Well, this is my experience and I hope that it will endure someone or inspire someone out there. I would also like to say thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my thoughts and to extend my gratitude to America. May you all who is reading this be blessed and my the Good Lord up above continue to guide us and bind us together today, tomorrow and forever more. May the Good Lord Bless and keep America as ONE.
