Now that I have time to reflect back on what has happened, I just, it's still so surreal. I live quite a ways away from New York, and even though I have relatives there, it still hasn't really connected. You know? I mean, my cousin actually saw the plane crash into the first of the World Trade Center towers... I was so glad she was all right. She had to walk from Manhattan to Queens because traffic was so congested and because there was no other choice. I wanted to donate blood but I'm too young.
