_ _ _ _ _ September 9, 2001.
Gary and I were skating at a hospital on top of a huge hill overlooking
a valley.
An ambulance came in to help us.
Gary asked me why she wasn't moving or blinking.
They hadn't closed her eyes yet. _
_ _ _ _ _ She must have died on the way.
A car full of family
and friends came in with the ambulance.
They were all crying and hugging each other.
One
woman screamed hysterically and grabbed at the woman's body, asking her to wake up. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I
had to tell Gary that her soul went to heaven.
I didn't believe a word of it, but I knew
it would be easier for him to understand.
Two days from now, at 9 a.m., planes will
hit the World Trade Center, killing over 3,000 people.
I will tell Gary that there is no
God and all of this is meaningless. _
But today, there is a God and He has a plan for him. _
_ _ _ _ He doesn't know it, but a year from now our family will be torn apart and I will move
far away and won't see or talk to him for five years.
And as we sit on the hood of our
car, the sun goes down and he asks me what I want out of my life. _
I tell him I don't know. _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ I don't tell him about the dream I had the night before, where I'm riding in a car full
of strangers and singing to some song I've never heard, and smoking a [Db] cigarette as we
swerve off the road [Ab] into a tree.
I go through the windshield at the edge of a fence, dislocating
my jaw and flipping me into a wall.
My neck is broken and my skull is fractured.
I bleed
to death in excruciating pain. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I will have this dream periodically until I meet all of
the strangers one by one, introducing [Fm] them all to each other until we are a close group
of friends.
I will set [Bbm] these events in motion [Db] and I will die.
But [Cm] today, in the warm light
of the [Ab] sunset, I will see it.
I just see the sunset.
I smile back and shake my head.
I
have absolutely no idea.
I am afraid.
