911DA Story: Story
I was at the office, the day looked like a bright but yet cool day. I just shut-off the coffee pot as it had been going since 6Am, so coffeed out now it was 8:00am My thoughts went back to the weekend spent in New York with Brothers Steven and John. ( this is hard for me to do today)
anyway we had a wonderful time John took us up to his office on the 103rd floor, my stomach was yuk as we entered that elevator we reached John"s office and his view was beautiful the New York harbor and all around it was breathtaking.I remember saying to John,well you always have liked heights as a small child and he was on top of the world. His new job and home now here in the big apple was a dream come true for him.It was so beautiful in New York and I hated having to leave but I was pregnant and was due back in Minnesota for a check-up. I hugged him goodbye and told him I would see him in 2 weeks when the baby was due.Little did Steven nor I realize this was the lastime we would all be together.The phone rang and my heart stopped as I heard my Father say something awful has happened.My Mom was in tears and I couldn't make out what she was saying,Dad broke in an said Jenny we love you but you need to turn the tv on.
I froze for a second as My Dad isn't a tv watcher, when I turned on the television it was then all to grim.My eyesflooded with tears and I asked God please don't take John because you can. I saw the rubble and I knew My Brother was gone. Amanda Taylor Winona Mn
