I was in shock for most of the day. I was most worried about my Aunt who worked for Marsh Co. I knew she went to work most days by 8am. After I saw the first plane hit the N.WTC I tried to call her in the South Tower. I tried and tried and it seemed like forever and could never get through. All I could do was sit, glued to the TV. When I saw the South Tower collaspe I got this sharp pain and I felt like I was going to pass out. At that point I knew where she was. I didn't even know my Uncle was there. His office was not located in the Towers but, he had meetings there often. Nothing personal was ever found to confirm he was there however, his agenda from work read "meeting WTC 8:30am".

I lost both my Aunt and Uncle, my Dad's sibblings, in the WTC. My Aunt in the South Tower and my Uncle in the North. Along with family, I also lost numerous friends I made while working in NY/NY area. I went to Ground Zero as soon as air traffic was up in Sept of 2001. I am a Red Cross Volunteer in Richmond, VA and I helped as a Volunteer at Ground Zero. I helped feed and water the search dogs, I handed out meals to the rescue workers, etc. I will never forget the ones who lost their lives and the impact it made on me, my family, the other families who lost loved ones and friends and all the world on September 11th, now and forever.
