I lived in CT when this happened - in an area where many community members commuted to NYC. I worked for a leading newspaper - it was a sad, scary time. That December, my daughter and I went to NY - the fires from the Towers were still burning - the city streets were littered with dying flowers left in remembrance - and the city was loaded with posters of photos of those who were still missing. We actually saw Rudy Giuliani leading a group of people down into the bowels of the remains of the towers. It’s hard to believe now, but he did an outstanding job of leading the city during that time - he was looked upon as a hero — and he really was. When this happened, I was at a business conference in Colorado with 50 newspaper executives from all over the country — none of us knew how we would get home. I was on the very first flight allowed — it was a 747 with just 8 people onboard.

We were all scared - and we were all eyeing each other. We held a little meeting - not knowing if each of us could be trusted - and we immediately all agreed — if something were to happen, we would fight.

Scary time. And look how much the world has changed in 20 years … newspapers are almost all gone - Giuliani is no longer a hero - and we have never — and will never - be the same. Compared to today, those days look innocent.

Please … be kind to yourselves - be kind to each other - help everyone you can.

I was teaching a class of inner city second graders. I had to figure out how to explain what was happening in our country that morning because I wouldn't let my kids watch it live on the television and I knew the other teachers were letting their students watch 9/11 events live. I thought 7 year olds should watch it with their families first and I knew they would be seeing it in pictures and videos the rest of their lives. I didn't know what would happen but I also knew the other
students would be talking to them at lunch. So I explained it to my classroom by starting with the stories of Pearl Harbor. My sister was born 7 days before they bombed Pearl Harbor and that is where I started with her stories. And now they would have stories and memories of what happened today like my sister had of Pearl Harbor and tye war in the 1940's and they would carry those stories in their hearts and memories forever. But most of all I told them they were safe. Not really knowing if any of us would ever be safe again. And when I went home to let the dogs out for lunch, the world has ceased moving and the quiet little airport I live next door to on one side and teach next door to on the other side was surrounded by squad cars and shut down completely.

And if I meet on of those 33 former students today to my surprise they can quote everything I told them that day word for word. And that they never were scared because that all the ways I told them they and their families were safe.
SO MY FRIENDS HERE, WHATEVER, IF ANY TRAGIC EVENT ARE PLANNED TOMORROW....MY PRAYERS ARE THAT YOU ARE SAFE AND THAT NONE OF YOU HAVE A NEW MEMORY OF 9/11/21. LUVS

Bless you Teacher Wendy — you gave your students the most important gift any of us could have imparted: the feeling of safety. You will never know how your words and actions that day shaped their hearts, minds and souls for life, but you will know it was positive and loving on your part. Bless you - and thank-you for being here now.

On September 11, 2001, I was dropping my two boys (5 and 1 at that time) at school and babysitter when I heard a car radio channel stop what they were doing and start talking about a plane crashing into one of the twin towers. I was in disbelief. I live 10 minutes outside of NYC. I am an attorney and I was suppose to go to a court hearing but I refused because I was afraid that any public federal and state building could be targeted. Wow. We did lose our innocence. God bless America.

Alexandra Grant. More lies? Did she forget she married another person 10 years ago... & is still married... UPDATE...

  I had a dream about Alexandra Grant. (Which in it's self is disturbing)   This is what I saw in the dream.   I SAW...   Alexandra Grant   is married. Not to Keanu Reeves.  T he marriage took place around 9/10 years ago on the  East coast of America.  (Not New York City)   I Saw She was in a  very close relationship with this  "Person" I See she was paid to do this... The person she is married to is of dubious character...   This person has been  "Away"  for quite a while...    (If you know what I mean)   This person is threatening to return..   She will...   To expose the marriage & other criminal behaviors  they both had a part in.    As I write this.   Keanu Reeves & his team.  Do not know of this.    Alexandra,  knows is still legally married. Has her head in the sand. Hoping it will go away...   STAY TUNED...    MORE TO COME...  

Not a good sign... My constant dream last night...
