September 11,2001 Brooklyn,New York

We watch helplessly eyes glued to the television as the flaming Wold Trade Center

burns and smoke billows from the steel I weep embracing my friend tightly knowing how horrible

the event must be and that my friends husband and my husband were there

helping I was horrified as was my friend we broke the hug and resumed watching.

I phoned my husband,no answer I called again no answer I sob loudly "its O.K," my friend

says comforting me "you don't get it," I say "they might die!," "look, we'll be O.K.," she says

"we'll be O.K.,"  she starts to sob too, my son and daughter walk into the living room "will daddy

be O.K.," they ask "I don't  know," I say "I really don't know," I hug my children tight.

I try calling my husband again  he finally picks up "bab-baby \*coughing\* I can't breathe 

"are you O.K.?,". I ask "No." he says, my friend motions for me to give the phone to her

I do "can  I speak to Josh?," she asks "honey, I think I'm dying," Josh says "hang on!,"

she shouts "we love you," we shout before hanging up me,my friend and my chldern

all hug. crying.

Two seconds later the towers crash to the ground.
