I had just gotten to work when I heard the news of this devastation. My first reaction was one of disbelief. I borrowed a TV from one of my tenants, I manage a commercial real estate property, and turned to the news. My emotions quickly changed to angry and outrage. As I sat there glued to the station, I cried for the lost of life, I actually felt as if I had lost personal loves ones in the tragity. I say personal love ones, because although I did not lose any relatives or close friends, I felt a kinship to the ones that were hurt and dying. The rage was overwhelming. In the months that have followed this tragity, I have not lost much of my outrage nor my anger, but I am gradually learning to live with the aftermath.

I pray every day for peace yet I anticipate doom around every corner. I wish with all my heart that we could turn back time to pre-9-11-01.
