Hi everyone. I remember where i was when the Oaklahoma bombing took place. I was in my living room and I had just started to have some pains, I was pregnant with my daughter and over due. I ended up having her the 21st but remember clearly watching it on tv with my dad. Was so sad.
I was living on Long Island the time of the 911 tragedy however my family all lived here in the city. The twin towers were visable from my mothers balcony. Even worse my mother worked in tower two for aon insurance company on the 92nd floor. However she was on vacation that week. God spared her life but took someone from us that was like an aunt. My moms best friend from as far back as her school days Molly. She was so close with my mother, she went to work every day with her, she attended every event in both my life and my childrens life, every holiday everything. She was like family. Along with her my mother lost all of her friends, all of the people she hung out with after work at during work. It was and still is hard for us . She is very sick these days and most of it started after 911. The guilt, the depression and all that goes with the survival. She has good days and bad days. Lots of therapy. But she was spared for a reason, a year after the tragedy my 3rd child was born and a year after that my 4th. They are very close with grandma as well as my two older and I think that is what keeps her going. We have to always remember things like this. It is easy for people to forget if it didnt touch them personally. I have a picture of Molly on my TV and all of my children are reminded that Molly is our guardian angel all the time.
Love ya
