everytime i read a story or hear information about the attack on 9-11 i just can't stop the tears from falling. i am from a very very small town and never in my life could imagine being in new york or washington d.c. at this time in history. i was working like everyone does in america. i was coming from the post office and heard on the radio about terrorists. at first i just thought it was news about countries over seas never to think that they were talking about american cities. i turned the radio up a little louder and listened and that was when i heard it was in new york and dc. i couldn't believe it at first i was just shocked i couldn't even understand what they were saying. i listened to the radio all morning and the news when i got home at night. when i got back to my office i sat in a daze for a few minutes and then i called my boyfriend. obviously i wasn't worried about his life i just wanted to hear his voice i felt so grateful for our lives yet my heart was full of sadness for everyone else out there that didn't have the luxery that i did. i could not come close to understanding the fear, pain, anger, or grief that many people have. my heart truley goes out to those who lost a loved one in this terrible time or to those who had to worry and wait hours or even days to hear about loved ones being alive. this is truley a day that will forever be remembered and mourned. a terrible day just the thought brings tears to my eyes. now almost a year later i still can't beleive what i heard on the radio that morning i can't beleive it happened to america.
