Thank you, everyone.

I didn't get to post this today because I just went back to teaching full time and have been crazy...but I was so glad to see it bumped.

Thank you to you all. It really feels like yesterday. The pain, fear and heartache never goes away...even after 12 years.

God bless everyone who didn't have an ending like mine that fateful day.

I thought about this thread earlier today while I was at work. I hadn't been on all day and was wondering if it would be posted.

I couldn't get through it again without balling my eyes out.

Thank you for sharing. I cried. I remember 9-11 like yesterday too. I was in Manhattan that day and your sentiment echoes home to me. I could feel everything in your words.
