What a lovely story of your experience at the Windows restaurant. If the restaurant wasn't serving yet, chances are she wasn't there yet. So, we'll hope and stick with that. Although I did hear stories of some people that were up there that of course, didn't make it out. So tragically sad. For all of them.
It's hard to believe that horrible day was 20 years ago already. I remember everything that happened that day very clearly. Everyone in my office was glued to the TV, hard to watch, yet hard to pull yourself away. For me and my brothers, my parents were in Holland at the time. They were due to fly back the next day. Needless to say, their flight got delayed about a week. I felt like I couldn't breathe until they were home. The hard part of it was my mother was on very particular medications and she only had enough to last her for the time they were away. Thankfully they were able to procure some extra meds in Amsterdam. Speaking the language also helped, although most everyone there speaks at least a little English. I was very relieved when I greeted them home at the airport. Never more happy to see my parents than that day.
