I came to the United States of America on 8/16/2001. I get off the train on 9/11/2001 at 7:46 AM and said “ Good morning” to my favorite flower shop owner at the world trade center inside the building. After that, at 8:46 AM l heard sounds, and l remember all the Doves were flying out to the sky around the area. I stepped out from my building and l did not what is going on but l started saw people were waving hands to ask for help from the world trade center North tower building and no one can not do anything only we are watching people flying from the building to avoid from the inside smoke and fear and jumped out from the building on the day. My tear came out and l screaming to see people were flying like birds with carried entire their life. It made me confused and l am still disappointed couldn't help them.
However, someone said” We need to leave and evacuate now” after that, l run from Tribeca to 34th Street. All yellow cab drivers let us listen to the radio and we find the building is gone between that time. Since that day, l live in the United States for almost 20 years now. I could go back to Japan. My family always said “ come back home” But l choose not to because l know what l can do in this country. Also, my son is an American citizen as well. I have a responsibility as a mother. My life is to help people and support the church. I feed the homeless when l see them by the store. When people need me, l will be there for them.
I pray for everyone who was there and all our lost people. I never forget the day. Because l still alive and creative life in the United States of America.
I appreciate my life. Please tell another generation about the true story. This memory is forever in my heart. God bless you. Amen
