Wow. You are an amazing writer! I could feel the sadness and intensity of what had just happened. I could really understand all of those feelings. Great writing!

Ah, you've uploaded this. It's about a year old, and it sure brings back memories.

This is the reason 'nutt comes first in English. ;)

It's so pro.

Isn't there a part where he throws himself onto the couch and cries?

Again, well-written, but not like I can criticise it if the teacher fell head-over-heels in love with it.

I like it. Quite a bit. It's got a nice, personal touch to it in that the character clearly conveys emotions and feelings. The writing style is clear and understandable. Of course, that you're taking such a difficult topic and writing about it so well is very impressive, because as you right, "we are all united", and despite the years, your piece is touching. I do, however, question the title - why write this American date in the European fashion? Most may not recognize it as the mentioned date. Either way, nice job.

This nearly made me tear.
I was in grade 4 when the two towers were hit. I remember it all so clearly...
At 9:30-ish, my teacher brought a tv into our classroom so that we could see the actual footage of the 2 towers collapsing. It was horrible. And then after, all the kids in Toronto were sent home for early dismissal after the attacks.
Anyhow, this is such a great story for people like me to understand the actual pain of losing a loved one - especially when you did not at the least expect it.
Thanks xox,
