I live in So Cal - I was heading to a meeting at work, our company was in the process of being invested into by “angels” - I was national revenue manager so I needed to be there to discuss numbers. I was woken by my mom who called “turn on the TV” - I couldn’t comprehend what I was seeing as I was getting ready for work. I made my daughter stay home from school. I was really afraid that our entire country was going to be attacked. A few minutes before I left home the first tower fell. As I walked out the door I said “everybody in the US is going to know someone, or be within a degree or two of separation of knowing someone who perished in that building” When I got to work I learned that the 2 (young family men) “angels” coming from Boston on United Airlines Flight 175 were hijacked and crashed into the second tower. I never thought my own words would ever ring so true. May their memories be for a blessing - I’ve gone to the 9/11 Memorial and fountains 5 times - I took this photo the first time, 2 weeks after it opened. Hug your loved ones.
