They'd go to the beach, hold hands, collect shells, and make sand castles. Even though they were young, this was the start of something new.

One day after Mandy's 6th birthday, Billy came up to her and asked "Will you be my girlfriend?" and she said yes. They sat there by the pond and they promised forever.

They hugged, they kissed, and their parents knew they were perfect.

Every day as they grew older, their love kept growing stronger.
They became teenagers, and they loved each other more than ever.

They spent their summers together,
they had sleepovers, they were the best of friends, and more than anything, they were lovers.
They loved everywhere,
even if they were miles apart.

It was perfect. Years passed and passed and finally, they got married.

One day, after Billy got home from work, Mandy had some breaking news:
she was pregnant with a baby.

On June 22nd, she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.
She grew bigger and bigger, and soon,
Mandy found out she was pregnant again.
She gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on September 13th, 1997.
They were a perfect family.

Until one day, on September 11th.
Billy was on call to a terrorist attack.
He went down to the station and got ready to go.
He told his family he would always love them and no matter what happened, "forever." His wife begged him not to go, but he kissed her, and right as he walked out the door, he whispered '"Forever, I promise."

He raced to the Twin Towers. Two men went in (one of them being Billy), but only one came out. Unfortunately, it wasn't Billy. He rescued a woman, but he couldn't save himself.

Later that night, the firemen came to her door with the bad news. She fell to her knees and cried. She held her necklace with her wedding ring on it and whispered, "Forever baby,

forever."Later that night, she went to the pond where they first had their memories. She sat there and cried, and looked at the pond and remembered them.

But then it started to rain. She headed back in when she heard a noise. She looked out the window after she got in.
It was pouring and she saw more than half her town standing there with candles in the pouring rain. She started crying and held her children close.

A couple of years later, when the daughter had to bring a parent in on September 11th for Career Day, she wrote a speech about why her father wasn't there. That day, when she went with no one except for her mom, the kids all laughed and said her father didn't care enough about her to come. So she got up there and told everyone why he couldn't be there, and how she was so proud of him

A tear came to her mother's eye.

All the kids were so touched. The teacher hugged her and told her how proud she was.
Her final words before she ended everything was, "and the reason I'm not sad anymore is because Daddy isn't really gone, he is in my heart."

Even though her mom sat up and cried every year on that very day, she knew he was never gone.

Everyone should have taken a moment of silence in their day at some point to reflect on the almost 3,000 people who died on 9/11/2001. I was as old as alot of you are now. I was in my 11th grade US history class, the first plane hit the first tower, and the teacher canceled the lesson and we turned on CNN . We all watched in horror as we watched, live, the second plane fly into the other tower. They were burning for a while as there was speculation among newspeople about who could have planed this, the name osama bin laden came up very quickly. Then The first tower collapsed, then the second tower. I will never forget what one of my classmates said as the second tower came down, this kid was very reticent, never spoke up at all in class, but he blurted out, breaking the silence of the class, "does anyone realize how many people just died."

Then I became a republican.

Indeed. I was only about 9 when it happened. At first I didnt understand it. Not a bit. I didn't get it. Planes crashing into buildings. I had no idea it was an act of terrorism. But now I know. It was the most traumatic day that I hope will not happen again to anyone in any other state. The ones who went in the WTC, and sacraficed their lives and health to save others, should forever be remembered in history.

Although I dont believe in a religion.

God bless USA.

I was still Canadian. I didn't know who/what/where the Twin Towers were nor did I care very much about it at the time.

i was in the 10th grade in the middle of technology class and we watched the news all day until school got out. yeah osama bin laden is still out there somewhere and the F***ER deserves to be ripped to pieces. im not particularly happy that they made a movie out of it but it does us good to remember the worst so we can prepare for the future so that it never happens again.

of course in our sociology class some people believe that the signs were there and that sometimes governments dont do anything about the possibilities until its too late. i say governments as a whole not pin pointing a particular one.

me and oscar were at wtc 2 days before it went down i guess. i remember how hard it was to come home, and there was a huge hole in the sky where the world trade centers used to be. like john, i haven't been a democrat since. I'm not a uber republican, but i lean towards the right a little more than most new yorkers are used to.

It boggles my mind how some people in this world can ACTUALLY think that the government blew up the twin towers in order to justify iraq, it is simply amazing how passionate they are about it too. I guess I just forget sometimes that half the population of the world have an IQ under 100 Razz
