Image via WikipediaI remember clearly the night the towers fell. It happened around midnight Guam-time; I was awake but I wasn't watching TV. A relative from the East coast called and told us to turn on the television. At first I thought it was a small plane that had collided with the tower - what else could it be? Then more footage became available and the situation appeared more dire. But when the second plane hit the other tower, it was clear that this was much more than an accident. As the events unfolded on that terrible night, I felt as though reality was slipping away. The thing I remember most of all was holding my newborn daughter and thinking what sort of world did we bring her into?

I was also informed through a phone call by a relative from the mainland. This event was an eye opener for us all.
