Yam..

I am so.. so.. so sorry.. for all you.. and your friends have lost... but I want to let you know that you are not alone... My cousin Georgie.. he worked in .. what used to be.. the WTC... He's worked there since 1990.. and survived the attack of '93 only by some miracle where he happened to be out that day buying an engagement ring.. (I like to think its their love that keeps him safe).. Yesterday.. he was on the 3rd floor.. when he should have been on the hundreth.. and it saved his life.. as he was coming out of the building.. the stairs buckled.. almost fell on top of him... My uncles.. cousins.. about 4 or 5 of them.. are NYC Firefighters... for the first time ever, our whole family, all their troops, have come together to work on one project.. my uncle Christy, on the verge of retirement, went in on the first call.. the building collapsed... on him.. but.. again by some miracle, my family yet prevails... but unfortunately, almost his whole troop has perished under the rubble.. my cousins all have lost very very good friends in the line of duty, risking their lives to help save the lives of others.. and I believe that if there was a way to die.. that was definately the most noble way I can think of...

Now, i know my story is happy.. so you may not think I know what you mean, my friends though, many of them, have had parents die... one of my friends watched her best friend die live on the second plane to crash into the WTC... friends of mine had parents visiting there.. some even had parents on board the flights... and im truly sorry for what happened.. if you need to talk.. im here..
