Hey everyone , my name is Marissa and I am a author. I need to gather all of your information about the 9/11 attack because I am in the progress of writing a book about what had happened , therefore I need your perspective because I am trying to make this book as real as possible.

The Aftermath.
How did it feel going back to school or work and pretending like nothing had happened ?
Going back to school and pretending like nothing had happened was tragic, because nothing felt okay, and every time I could stop thinking about what happened , someone would always end up asking "How are things at home?" or "How is your mom doing?" and the most common statement; "If you ever need anything , please call me". People know what happened with my father , but even if they know I still need to go on and pretend like everything is fine.
I don't think I need to pretend , if James needs me I'll be there for him , I don't need to be different at school , but sometimes it irritates me when people ask me how it felt like being in the twin towers , but then again .. if it happened to someone else I would probably ask them as well.
Since I was in the twin towers while the attack happened , I didn't need to pretend that everything was fine because whoever works in my office now were the survivors of the attack .. so they knew what happened.
You must be very grateful that everyone in your office evacuated on time , and it must be really awesome that you can talk to the people at the office about how you felt when the attack happened.
Yes , I am very grateful that everyone was safe from my office .. And having people that witnessed what I witnessed and they can relate to it is very good , because sometimes we all share what we felt when the attack happened , but after that we all go back to work of course .. haha.
Another thing is that not much has changed for me , except for I lost one of my best friends in that attack .. if I never let Mr.Bennet go up those stairs he could have been with us today .. I regret leaving without him.
Please don't blame yourself for my fathers death Mr.Fuller , I mean if I didn't let him leave the fire station he wouldn't have went missing , but whatever happened happened .. there is no way we can change it now.
I want you guys to remember that none of you are responsible for Mr.Bennets death , it wasn't your fault the attack happened , I mean .. everything happens for a reason right ?
Just like Will said , nothing much has changed for me .. but all I could do is be there for Mrs.Bennet whenever she needs me , shes one of my closest friends and if something wrong happens with her , I will be there to help her through the misery.
I honestly don't know what to feel right now. I'm still hoping for a miracle , but it doesn't seem so likely now .. and thank you Mrs.Fuller , I do really need a friend right now. This is one of the hardest aspects of my life , so I don't think I can pretend like nothing happened.

ReplyDeleteIt must have been really horrible for people to keep reminding you of what happened .. but I'm sure they meant the best.
ReplyDeleteYeah , I know that their just looking out for me.

ReplyDeleteIt's good that you would help James when he really needs it.
ReplyDeleteHes my best friend , of course I would help him when he needs me :)

ReplyDeleteIt's good that you guys talk about what had happened that day .. because talking about wouldn't make you forget what happened that day.

ReplyDeleteYes Marissa you are right , everything happens for a reason , but this time its going to take a while to get over.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like everything does have a reason , but the twin towers getting attacked .. there doesn't seem to be a reason there.
ReplyDeleteJust like Will said , nothing much has changed for me .. but all I could do is be there for Mrs.Bennet whenever she needs me , shes one of my closest friends and if something wrong happens with her , I will be there to help her through the misery.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing you will be there for Mrs.Bennet , seeing what shes going through .. it seems like she really needs a friend.
ReplyDeleteYup , but hopefully everything will be alright soon.

ReplyDeleteI understand if you're confused about what happened , its all to take in. It never hurts to have a little hope , I'll pray for a miracle to happen.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marissa , I shall pray as well.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Mrs.Bennet.
ReplyDeleteI do not know what is happening at my office , I don't think they have things up and running yet , It may be too soon to tell.
ReplyDeleteYeah , it seems a bit earlier to start working again .. it should begin again in a few months :)
ReplyDeleteI sure hope so , haha.
