I agree with everyone this was a very powerful!
It was a day of infamy. A day when innocence was lost for this country and our young people. We were no longer naive to our world.
You have touched on what so many people felt that day and feel around the world," I was no longer me. I was one in millions...I if felt so utterly small."
This was a paradigm shift for many of us.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to read it!
Wow! This is one powerful story, especially coming from one who was so young when the tragedy happened. When i first read your story, I thought "I can only imagine how something like that would affect someone so young.'

It's crazy to think of what we doing the day the US was attacked. It's a hard memory to relive but it's important to remember. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for taking the time to read it!
Another day that will live in infamy.
This memorial piece strikes home in so many ways because you put the images into words so professionally--I hope that word is appropriate--and so personally. I was not in your school, but my own reactions were exactly like yours. As a published work, Indelible is like an editorial written for one of the nation's best newspapers; poignant and hitting the mark.
On a human level, it... Show more
Wow, thank you for that little review. I appreciate your kind words and the time you took for my work! Thank you, Patrick!
Thank you for sharing, Jess.
'I was no longer me. I was one in millions.' This says it all. We were all united through this one dreadful event.
Well presented Jess.
Thank you!
You are totally awesome. You are an outstanding author....
