I do know exactly where I was - I had my hand on one of the glass doors at the entrance to the WTC mall on the north side of the complex - and the actual spot is inside the construction site, but I was on the same street & found myself trying to figure out where the entrance had been. <br /><br />Got some nice pictures last night - please visit www.frogma.blogspot.com if you'd like to see them.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214458.post-12941496259591238632012-09-11T20:06:42.245-07:002012-09-11T20:06:42.245-07:00No, Walter, I had no idea your lost your mother at...No, Walter, I had no idea your lost your mother at this time and I am so sorry to hear of this. It was such a bizarre time and losing a loved one in the middle of it just made things even more surreal.

I'm n...I had no idea you had been right there.<br /><br />I'm not sure you ever knew that<br /> Vera was dying at that same time,<br /> Rob. She was at Norma Jean's house,<br /> having come back from the hospital<br /> for hospice care. I was back in<br /> The City around September 29th or<br /> so, soon enough after that day<br /> that the airports were still<br /> filled with National Guard troops<br /> carrying automatic weapons. I had<br /> a last visit with my mother and <br />she died on October 13. For that<br /> reason, even more than the <br />distance (I was living outside of<br /> Portland at the time), 9/11 is a <br />bit of a blur for me rather than a<br /> flashbulb memory.<br /><br /><br />Stay safe.Walaka of Earth 2https://www.blogger.com/profile/15937932225623126280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214458.post-1954218232688085432012-09-11T19:22:12.038-07:002012-09-11T19:22:12.038-07:00Rob, this post had me in tears.
I feel so emotion...Rob, this post had me in tears.<br /><br />I feel so emotional reading your words, that all I can say is, thank you. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing this with us.<br /><br />One of these days, if you and I should ever get together in person, I would love talk more about your experience that day because I've never known anyone who was actually there when this happened.<br /><br />Again, beautiful post, buddy.<br /><br />And you're so right, remembering this day puts our menial annoyances in total perspective, doesn't it?Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.com
