I have a friend named Ashley (who some of you have met under the nick on IRC, Umber) whose father was in the Twin Towers during the attack. He was sitting in his office when the plane crashed in on the floor he was at. He was killed instantly in the attack and she's never been the same since.

Ashley's mother is in the military so she has to stay with me when her mother is deployed. Sometimes she feels like she loses two parents, not one, whenever her mother is gone.

Guys, whether you are American or not, this was a tragic, horrifying experience for my friend, and I feel for her. For people like Ashley, please have a moment of silence today for at least a minute at your dinner table-anything-just please...thousands, millions of people died in this scary, frightening terrorist attack and I have been witness to a family who lost someone to this attack.
