Say a prayer today for Morty Franks family. My son wore his hand me down suits for years and when Morty perished in the tower that sunny day my son joined the Army and now puts on an army suit in memory of his pal Morty. I can't even post about this and our family has been crying all week. It is like a huge scab on our heart that gets pulled off every year. We all now know the meaning of the term "Living Nightmare". Ironic how it is raining tears in NYC today. Joyce
In the evening of September 10th, my brother in law received a phone call from his boss. He didn't need to go to the Trade Towers for the presentation on the 11th. Another man was taking his place.
My brother was packing up tools here in Ontario Canada, to head to New York that day. His company installs windows in highrises and they had just got a big job. I left work and we watched the second plane hit on tv together. I will never forget.
Things happen for a reason... we all know that. How lucky that H decided to come home at that particular time. A very good friend from back home lost her one brother in-law as he was a NYC firefighter, never found him. It was a day I don't think any of us will ever forget.
What a relief it must have been to have 'daughter' home that day. Just think how your life would have changed if she had been in NY. What a blessing, but a reminder for us to remember all of those those that were there. Sally
Never forget...I dread this day every year...the friends we lost...the near misses..my son was in Logan airport that morning sched to fly out...hours before we knew if he was on that plane..still remember the sick feeling, they had just had their first child....(they have 4 now :) And so many kids here who lost their parents..a horrific day for the US...
70ish Mom of a 45 year old lady lawyer, grams to an adorable 13 year old granddaughter better known as Miss "B"...New Grams to 3 year old Jack Horowitz. He's not fond of Grandma as he is always giving me the raspberries, but adores the Boss.....he's the worlds happiest Toddler. Wife of 50 years to the Boss and he has me spending most of my waking hours at the kitchen stove. We live for our next meal..I love to cook and I'm now into bread baking. I also love my bright red V.W. bug convertible.(my 7th one) I think it's the cutest car ever built! Originally from New Jersey I constantly complain about living in the South...Hey, there's no good pizza here!! And then there is my wacky blog name....Well it comes from the summer I spent in Paris with daughter...The Rue Mouffetard is the famous street where it's all about food...every kind of food is sold there that you can imagine....I shopped there everyday for all our meals...It was heaven!! We have lived in Georgia for 35 years but will always be a "Jersey Girl"...

Amen, I am so glad your daughter was not among those who lost hteir lives or experienced the terror first hand.

Such painful memories. Thank God your daughter was safe.
