Today.

America.  I remember.  New York.  I remember.  

To all of the loved ones left behind.  We remember.

I can barely recall what filled my schedule two days ago.

Yet, I can vividly recall every single detail of what happened on the morning of Tuesday September 11, 2001.  Every-single-moment.  From where I was standing to every article of clothing I had on.  I was 15.  A sophomore in high school walking towards my Spanish II class.  It was an early release day and like every early release my day had been meticulously planned out.  But, in an instant all that changed.  And, on that tragic morning marked the most horrific event of my generation.  I stared.  We all stared.  Bewildered.  Young eyes locked on the television as we witnessed a tragedy unfold before our eyes.

All I could think of was the innocent people.  The people.  All of the people trapped.  The thoughts that were running through their minds. 

 The panic.  The suffering.  The sorrow.  The grief.

 Fathers.  Mothers.  Sons.  Daughters.  Brothers.  Sisters.  Lost. 

 Taken away before their time.

We will never forget.  The lives taken away.  The lives sacrificed.

My sincerest thoughts.  My warmest wishes. 

 My heart goes out to all of those whose lives were forever changed.
