We Will Never Forget - Part 1

I was here, at work, teaching a class. Ines came back and told us there had been an accident at the WTC in New York. There was a television in the office and we all came to see what happened. We watched in horror as the second plane hit. Still not believing what we were seeing, we watched. They were saying it had to be an act of war, but who was it? Who were we at war with and who could we possibly blame for this terrible act? Our totally naïve minds could not imagine anyone attacking the U.S. We are “protected!” Well I guess they woke us up.

I am not able to express the thorough sadness that filled me that day, for all those people and the loved ones searching for them hoping they were somehow spared. We are lucky to be here and need to never forget to tell our family and friends how much they are loved.
