I remember that day well, and will never forget! My thoughts and prayers are today with those who lost a loved one, along with the hundreds injured......
: That is the best tribute to 9-11 than the rest
: of us could really come up with. A little
: church that was across from the terror still
: stands. That in itself is a true miracle
: and the photos and badges are blessings. My
: flag is taped at half mast on the piller of
: my porch and a candle lit in my little
: lantern, I also have decided to light one
: for inside.

: I visited the little church that stands just
: across the way from where the World Trade
: Centre stood, it was the only building
: untouched in the vicinity..not even a window
: was smashed,it was covered in a thick
: blanket of grey dust after the twin towers
: collapsed. One of the church officers told
: me that many police officers and
: firefighters who were on duty that day (and
: who survived when their colleagues did not)
: still come to sit in quiet contemplation in
: the church.
: There is a small corner for photos of people
: still missing and a display of police and
: fire departmental badges and pennants all
: sent from other forces around the world in
: support and remembrance of the brave oficers
: who did not make it.

: I remember I bought a new flat to live the
: next year because I was going to get married
: and we spent time there. We had just a TV, a
: little table and few more. I was cleaning
: the floor, the windows... The TV was
: switched on but I didn't watched it.
: Suddendly an special NEWS stop the
: programming to show what was happening in
: New York. The telephons started ringing:
: EI!! watch the TV it's unbelievable!!! First
: we didn't know if the images belonged to a
: plane accident, a movie, to a practical joke
: . We didn't know yet. After two hours, the
: images were repeating all the time, the
: information were arriving, we knew what was
: really happenning and we were all consterned
: by the facts. We wanted to go the next march
: to New York on our honey moon travel, we
: changed our plans, we were frightened to go
: there, it was still soon. 6 years later, we
: still remember that day, sadly we know what
: is a terrorist attempt and it really true:
: NOT FORGOTTING IS REMEMBERING.
