That Day was also my 25th wedding anniversary. When I got home, the hubby had a bottle of champagne on ice. I broke down and started crying after holding it in all day and said I just couldn't do it (celebrate).

I remember quite clearly the exodus of many of my coworkers to go donate blood when the call went out on the radio. Didn't even ask...just went to stand in line.

Another coworker had a cousin in the towers that died that day and an aunt that escaped. Sad were those phone calls I heard her on all that day until she realized her cousin probably was gone.


Kiss your family good-bye every morning and say "I love you."
