It’s been 12 years since America experienced the worst tragedy of our time, and I will never forget that day. I was in my high school Italian class here in Miami when we heard the news and I’ll never forget the feeling of shock, sadness and utter disbelief. My mom was in Ft. Lauderdale and raced back down to pick me and my two brothers up from our schools and take us home. I remember being glued to the television and not believing what I saw. What a horrific and tragic day that was…one I will never forget.
Last summer, my husband and I were able to visit the 9/11 Memorial and saw the Freedom Tower while still under construction. The feeling of being there is indescribable…an overwhelming feeling of sadness but also one of pride. Our Nation banded together. People helped each other. Even here in Miami, there was a sense of comradery.
The hustle and bustle of life is back to normal, but we will always remember that day, that time in our lives, the time when everything changed. Never Forget.
