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 Sam, what a moving story! I can't even begin to imagine what is was like to be in New York on that day. I'm so sure those memories and images will haunt many for many years. I am so thankful your alarm did not go off that day!!!!!
