Mandy Moore On Where She Was 9.11.01
Mandy Moore explained to fans where she was when she learned of the September 11 terror attacks. “The morning of September 11th, I was in LA at home with my mom, fast asleep while the phone was ringing off the hook. Finally I heard my mom wake up to answer it. Knowing that something had to be wrong — no one would ever call at 7 am for no reason. I followed her to kitchen– it was my dad, at home with my brothers in FL, telling us to turn on the TV to any channel. I did and just about fell off the couch — overcome by emotion and what I was watching.”
“Was this a joke? A movie? I was flabbergasted, angry, cautious, saddened… Everything all at once. How could this have happened? I cried for the rest of the day, and week. My mom and I invited my good friend Ashley to come stay with us for the day — she lived alone and no one knew what could/would happen.”
“We lit candles that Friday and drove all around town… How beautiful and almost magical it was to see our country united. It’s hard not to come across a story detailing the effect 9/11 had an individual life (the children, mothers, etc.) and my heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to them always — not just once a year.”
“Obviously, no one will ever forget the horror of September 11th, but it did teach us all a valuable lesson in treasuring each and every day life brings us. Remember.”
