I can't imagine how devastating that must be.<br /><br />Thanks for all your good wishes. I am at the ceremonies at Ground Zero every year and the firehouse has a special memorial on the side of the building.BklynSoxFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512844600688808055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24009374.post-54767442810698242622009-08-04T19:44:59.382-04:002009-08-04T19:44:59.382-04:00Four months after, my lil sister's 11 yr son w...Four months after, my lil sister's 11 yr son was killed in a snow skiing accident. I was already being catapulted into another paradigm of my life by what happened and my visit...his death put me over the edge and pushed me to go beyond my comfort zone. <br /><br />I believe you have to want to find the good things in bad....or we just crumble into selfish bitter ingrates. <br /><br />I hope to return to NYC at some point soon...to visit the memorial and to visit the fire station. Good luck with the endeavors.Texhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06662266315215108085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24009374.post-85264874943135822662009-08-03T22:10:08.657-04:002009-08-03T22:10:08.657-04:00Thanks so much for sharing your story, Tex.

It would take me all day and night to tell you how much the 9/11 attacks altered my life. <br /><br />But some positive things actually came out of it for me. Wonderful people who I probably never would have met under better circumstances came into my life and I am grateful for that.<br /><br />Thanks for remembering my friend and for the hugs. Very, very much appreciated.BklynSoxFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512844600688808055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24009374.post-70006236353255924982009-08-03T19:31:39.577-04:002009-08-03T19:31:39.577-04:00I can't begin to know the pain and agony of th...I can't begin to know the pain and agony of that day of the new yorkers who were there and were witness to it all as well who lost loved ones. I did, however, go to NYC after it. I had purchased and planned a trip that Nov with my cousin for my 1st trip to NY. We hesitated and discussed but finally determined to go...with a different plan. I had become a mentor for local girl/boy club and I used that venue to organize a collection of cards among other things to bring to a fire station. Picking the station was the difficult thing to do. Too much to write here...but I saw Ground Zero and visited a fire station bearing gifts of course. <br />I was forever changed at that moment. <br />Moment of silence for your friend...and miles and miles of hugs from Texas to NY!!Texhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06662266315215108085noreply@blogger.com
