I've been back to NYC very few times since. It's too painful. <br />TerriTerri Goldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17252743227474930359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064573433501267073.post-52700111269862554142011-09-11T17:23:11.148-07:002011-09-11T17:23:11.148-07:00Sherryl - the pain of the connection to your moth...Sherryl - the pain of the connection to your mother...I can't even imagine! I am so sorry. <br /><br />Through the shock and horror (and not being able to contact my daughter, who worked in NY) I was dry-eyed. But I lost it completely when Howard Lutnick, chair of Cantor Fitzgerald, cried on tv. I knew Howard when he was a teenager and not only did his brother die, he lost more than 500 employees that day. He had taken his daughter to her first day of school and was late to the office.<br /><br /> I wept for that empty sky every time I was on the helix to the tunnel, drove on the turnpike, or walked in NY - it went on for a few years. I remember having been at Windows on the World with Marty for brunch and dinner -- and I wanted to get married there, although it turned out not to be feasible for some reason. I had called on clients in that building. And since the PATH was my route into the city for years, my heart was broken. All I could see was the Hudson News stand at the bottom of those big escalators - no longer there. The shops and the top of the escalator where I met Marty so many times in the years before we were married. Gone.<br /><br />I cried the first time I was able to take the PATH back to the WTC and was happy that they did not change the name of the stop.Raynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02981832263645584878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064573433501267073.post-81811345723161815532011-09-10T10:12:31.617-07:002011-09-10T10:12:31.617-07:00interesting to read your relationship with the tow...interesting to read your relationship with the towers and how the loss effected you. i remember that day as if it was yesterday. such a sad memory. i had a friend in NY who worked in the north tower and was able to get out safely.deanna7treeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02707505639796548961noreply@blogger.com
