Even nine years after, it still hurts to read about your experiences. I remember turning on the TV and getting the message that every show has been cancelled "because of the terrorist attacks in New York". I thought to myself "terrorists? yeah right".. people here (Sweden) didn't seem to understand at first. It's so unreal. The day after, our teacher in school told us that 9/11 would change the world and that we would remember that day for the rest of our lives.. I guess she was right.
Yesterday, Sweden had it's first terrorist attack. I thank God/the Universe/whatever-you-wanna-call-it that it didn't end as bad as 9/11. It's a miracle he didn't succeed in killing anyone apart from himself and I am so grateful for that. For the fact that we didn't have to suffer the way people did due to 9/11.
My heart goes out to you all, and to everyone who has suffered from something this horrible.
