Stupid 9-11!!!

A friend from school back in jersey found me on myspace. We have been chatting and we started to talk about people from way back. I told her how I only really kept in contact with Judy Fernandez, the girl that lived like 4 houses down from me. We were very close friends up until I moved to florida, around 14 years old. It wasn't much, maybe a letter every few years. I had wondered why I didn't hear from her for a while now.

Turns out she was part of 9-11. sad

That shit has me crying. Fuck.

I mean this, we were like best friends. She hooked me up with my first girlfriend. We would dream about what we would grow up to become. This is horrible, thank you for everyone that cared enough to post here. I'm not looking for attention, I'm just remembering a wonderful friend. Time didn't change that.

I know what you mean. I was surprised how hard it hit me when I learned that one of my brother's school friends from when we were in primary school had died. He was just my brother's friend from when we were kids who we'd play poo sticks with in the stream in our village, but it was such a shock. You somehow just don't expect it to happen to people you know. You were obviously very close to this friend too though. hug

fuck, it gets even worse.... sad

Judy H. Fernandez was not supposed to be at her office in the World Trade Center on Sept. 11. She was scheduled to leave for a business trip later that day, and could have taken the morning off. But she went in to take care of a few things.

For Ms. Fernandez, 27, being conscientious was a way of life. She worked as a benefits specialist in the human resources department at Cantor Fitzgerald, and made a habit of using her skills to help friends with their careers, even landing her cousin Maria Santillan a job at eSpeed. She was so organized that she made lists of all her goals and preferences: everything from her favorite flower to her desire to marry her boyfriend, Jon Plamenco. "She knew what she wanted in life, and she was going to do what she had to do to get it," said her sister, Emma.

"She wanted to be on the go all the time," said her mother, Corazon. "She loved anything exciting." Years after her brother, Rich, taught her how to ski, Ms. Fernandez took up snowboarding and taught everyone she knew. She had a large and tight-knit group of friends, and her organizational skills would often be put to use planning parties and ski trips.

Ms. Fernandez and her friends had a tradition: a monthly girls' night. There was a girls' night scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 12, but because she was supposed to be out of town, her friends moved it up to Monday the 10th. Nearly all of Ms. Fernandez's friends were there, and her family has a photo of all of them, snapped at 10:45 p.m.

Did I ever tell you that I really miss you...
and I thought about you all day?
I really miss you and wish I could hug you
but why are you so far away?

Since you've been gone
I've thought over and over about you inside my
head
and where things went wrong, no matter how long

All stinking day...
I've been thinkin' alot about all of the things
you'd say
since you went away...

I wish I could call you
and ask you "How are you"
but I really don't have much to say

I sit all alone
remembering when I was home
and I pray that you're doing o.k.
