911DA Story: Story
A whole year already... Sometimes it shocks me still. I will vividly remember the day the towers fell and the whole world looked on in shock and grief.
I remember the worry for the future ecspecially as I was just a few short days from giving brith to our second daughter. Fear of war, bombs and loss of lilfe when I had a great new life just waiting to give the world - HOPE.
I listened as people spoke of war and the use of nuclear methods to anialte those responsible. I remeber thinking that innocence always seems to suffer in situations like this but feared the hostility I heard. I remeber thinking.. can we just stop and grieve and think a little about the best retaliation vs. total retallation from which no possible end except TOTAL could come.
My husband, brother and other good friends were stranded in Vegas with so many other travelers. I wondered who might be next and begged him not to fly. By Gods grace they all got back safely.
I think of the the future still and will remember a time when the towers stood and I lived in NY. It will be something I can always share with my girls and pray that they can help make this crazy world a better place.
I wish the very best for all those who have lost so much and given of themselves so that my family still has a great future - for those of you THANK YOU so much!
