karla,

I had not previously viewed this piece...thanks for letting me know it was here. At the time of the event I was working in the Federal Building about 5 blocks from ground zero. I heard the first explosion when the first plane hit...it was not alarming because there is always construction going on in the area...but some one, somewhere had a TV on...and then there was shock...and then panic...and then it was madness...some of us left the building and the streets surrounding the downtoen neighborhood were utter madness...it just something you never forget or get over...the fear...and later the anger...I write about it alot, actually...thank you for this, though...**Mari**

Karla,
This is an outstanding write. I will surely never forget that day. I didn't lose anyone, but seeing it happen was so heartbreaking, I can't even imagine how the ones who lost someone must have felt. What a beautiful tribute write.
Love and hugs,
Janice

I love the refrain. How I fear more ashes are still yet to fall.
