To this day she still WON'T work on 9/11 and it has effected her tot he point that she no longer works in the city..she went from making alot of money as an equity trader to working for NJ transit...because she can't handle the memories..so for everyone who lost someone I send my condolences...and those who lived through it my prayers are always with you!! |
Oh my goodness what a moving story. I probably would have reacted somewhat like
your Mother, it's really hard to get those pictures out of your mind. To me in some

forget that day.
