Yes, I do. Why do you ask?

I was just curious. You were pretty young at the time. And I don't mean what somebody told you, or some half-constructed notion of that day. I was 19 or so at the time I remember it all pretty clearly. Was just curious what your memories are like. You're about on the edge of what will one day be "living memory" so I was wondering what sort of experiences you would have had and might have retained.

Oh... I see. I was about 7 or 8, I forget. I was sitting on the bed with my 3 sisters watching the tower fall to pieces. We were terrified and nonetheless sympathetic. I was very young, so no one told me the facts about why the hi-jackers did such a thing. I found out a a little later and I was shocked. All of those lives... there's no expression for it. 'Til this day I still think about the families, the heroes, the people on the planes, the innocent lives that were lost and whenever I think about it I have a new feeling about life. Every time I complain that "I can't have this" or "I want that." I always think about the people who "can't" stop crying because of lost family and "want" to have them back. I'm young, but I feel like I understand a lot like adults do.
