if you have a heart, you'll shed a few tears! REMEMBER ALL OUR HEROS... 9/11
They'd go to the beach, hold hands, collect shells, and make sand castles. Even though they were young, this was the start of something new.
One day after Mandy's 6th birthday, Billy came up to her and asked "Will you be my girlfriend?" and she said yes. They sat there by the pond and they promised forever.
They hugged, they kissed, and their parents knew they were perfect.
Every day as they grew older, their love kept growing stronger. They became teenagers, and they loved each other more than ever.
They spent their summers together, they had sleepovers, they were the best of friends, and more than anything, they were lovers. They loved everywhere, even if they were miles apart.
It was perfect. Years passed and passed and finally, they got married.
One day, after Billy got home from work, Mandy had some breaking news: she was pregnant with a baby.
On June 22nd, she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. She grew bigger and bigger, and soon, Mandy found out she was pregnant again. She gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on September 13th, 1997. They were a perfect family.
Until one day, on September 11th. Billy was on call to a terrorist attack. He went down to the station and got ready to go. He told his family he would always love them and no matter what happened, "forever." His wife begged him not to go, but he kissed her, and right as he walked out the door, he whispered '"Forever, I promise."
He raced to the Twin Towers. Two men went in (one of them being Billy), but only one came out. Unfortunately, it wasn't Billy. He rescued a woman, but he couldn't save himself.
Later that night, the firemen came to her door with the bad news. She fell to her knees and cried. She held her necklace with her wedding ring on it and whispered, "Forever baby,
forever." Later that night, she went to the pond where they first had their memories. She sat there and cried, and looked at the pond and remembered them.
But then it started to rain. She headed back in when she heard a noise. She looked out the window after she got in. It was pouring and she saw more than half her town standing there with candles in the pouring rain. She started crying and held her children close.
A couple of years later, when the daughter had to bring a parent in on September 11th for Career Day, she wrote a speech about why her father wasn't there. That day, when she went with no one except for her mom, the kids all laughed and said her father didn't care enough about her to come. So she got up there and told everyone why he couldn't be there, and how she was so proud of him.
A tear came to her mother's eye.
All the kids were so touched. The teacher hugged her and told her how proud she was. Her final words before she ended everything was, "and the reason I'm not sad anymore is because Daddy isn't really gone, he is in my heart."
Even though her mom sat up and cried every year on that very day, she knew he was never gone.
that is true.. but am I the only one who thinks that's sad?.... I don't have much faith in the human race anymore, but I believe I still have faith in humanity.
Hi, my name is Andi. I'm looking for dating, possible serious relationship down the road. Been down that road a couple of times and been burned, so looking to take things slow right now. This is my first time trying the on-line thing. I just signed up yesterday and have mostly only had people from long distance or way too old for my liking try to contact me. I would like to meet someone close by, because I just moved to NC in April, so I'm not looking to move anytime soon :) Check out my profile if you would like to know a little bit more about me!
