911DA Story: Story
September 11 was a day of sorrow as I mourned the deaths of so many.My daughter, Kristin and I lit candles and sang God Bless America. We placed flags on our home and on our car as to say I am proud to be an American.
One year later I have a different undertanding of 9/11. On Valentines Day of this year my daughter,Kristin, died in a housefire. I now know what it means to loose someone you love in a fire. Kristin had a disability and used a wheelchair.We got her to the window but could not get her thru. She was 23 years old and a major part of who I am,we were one.My understanding of the emotions of those who lost loved ones seems like the same emotion I have,we are united.I truly understand their feelings as I too feel as they do.It is very difficult to loose someone you love.Grief is a long and very difficult road.We need to continue to love and support them as one year of grief is only the beginning.
