I woke up this morning, to a trumpet sounding upstairs. It took me a moment to realize, that it was in honor of those who had died three years ago. I dashed up the stairs at 6:46 to watch the TV, and see what was happening. The memory came back to me, sitting there, lonely in my math room. The TV on and watching the second plane crash in the majestic building. The memory of me, trying not to cry, as I knew my mother would be at that moment.
Now, three years later, I struggle with the same thing, not crying. It was a painful day and everyone who can feel, saw that in the people of America. The firefighters who so bravely entered the towers one by one, saving whom they could, most losing their lives when the buildings collapsed into seven floors, a heep of nothing, of trash on the ground. Yet this trash, that was piled on the ground, meant so much to us, that tears spilled down our cheeks.
You cannot tell me that it was our fault, and you cannot tell me that they deserve to die for doing it. But you can tell me, that this day, three years ago, was the day that the whole world cried.
