I'm speechless after reading that. That was so beautifully written. It always makes it so much more personal and devastating to hear a firsthand report of the tragic turn of events that occured 7 years ago.

Every year on 9/11 I sit for a while in silence, remembering how tragically peaceful it was outside that day, knowing that halfway across the country the sky was falling down.
