| Sept. 8, 2001 Labor day camping was okay, I guess. It would've been more fun if I could've spent more time with Shea. He promised April and I that he would talk with us or at least listen to us talk to him but he didn't. He spent the whole time with his other friend, who shall remain unnamed cough:NORBERT:cough cough. I finally realized now that Shea isn't as close a friend as I thought he was. I used to think he was my best friend, but we don't even talk to each other. We see each other every Sunday but we are practically strangers. I know that this will be our last year together because next year he'll be off to college and that's why I wanted to sit down and have a nice long talk with him but he obviously doesn't really care if I am his friend or not. It kinda makes me sad. But, if he doesn't want to be friends he doesn't want to be friends, right? There's nothing I can do to change it. Goodbye, Shea, dear friend. I will miss you. |
| Sept 11, 2001 Today was a horrible day. The Twin Towers in New York were completly destroyed and the Pentagon in Washington D.C. was hit. It all started this morning when April and I were watching tv. It was almost ten o clock and we were about to turn it off and start school when my dad comes rushing up from downstairs saying "Turn to the news, a plane crashed." All I thought was "Oh, some plane crashed somewhere." Then when we turn to the news we see the Twin Towers on fire. Shortly after, we see one of the Towers collapse. I was shocked. The newsman talked about how it was probably a terrorist attack. When I saw the tower collapse and thought of all the people trapped in there I felt like I wanted to cry but I held the tears back because I knew if I started crying I wouldn't be able to stop for a long time. Then we find out that the Pentagon was hit too. My first thought went to Sunny and if she was alright. I called 3 times but couldn't reach her on her cell phone. Finally she called and said she was in D.C. and that she would call back when she got more information. She came home early today, around noon. All I did today was watch the news. Dad says we'll go to war whenever we find out who is responsible. I'm afraid to go to war because we live near D.C. and if they attacked D.C. they might attack the surrounding areas. I feel like this is all a movie, and it's not real. It's scary. But we have to put our faith in God and trust that He knows what He's doing. Sometimes things like this happen. We just have to accept it. But it's hard. It's really hard. |
