[QUOTE="DallasFanForever, post: 291533, member: 13221"] I appreciate that Lashes! What I’ll never forget about that day is I had no idea she worked in the World Trade Center. I knew she worked in Manhattan but I never made the connection. Apparently her company had just moved there from another building downtown. But I didn’t know that part so I assumed she was fine. But still I called her to make sure she was okay and there was no answer. And two days later I’m still calling her and there’s no answer. And I still didn’t get it. I just figured she was busy with all the madness going on up there at the time. And then I remember my mom telling me to sit down cause she had something to tell me. That was how I found out. That’s awful! I’ve heard so many terrible stories like this over the years. But at least he wasn’t there anymore. As bad as I’m sure he feels about his colleagues it must also be a relief for him and his family at the same time that he had left. It was. I tried to block everything out, as I’m sure many did. And I made so many trips to Manhattan over the years after the attacks, but was unable to go see the memorial. Just couldn’t do it. I’d look over there from wherever I was in New York and I’d want to go over there so badly but it just wasn’t possible. And then a couple of years ago I was in New York again and I finally went, but by myself. And the next thing I know I’m standing in front of the wall looking at her name, which really hit me hard. And I remember a woman and her daughter coming up to me and comforting me and telling me it was okay. They told me how they had lost their husband/father in the attacks And the next thing I know we’re all hugging and it’s like ur family, family joined by these senseless attacks but joined forever nonetheless.
