    What a hero. I dated a fireman. They literally have something in them that is very heroic. No fear at all. You picked a good man to have a child with.

    I was always seeking stories about 9/11 and I always wondered why there weren’t many. This is the best thing you could’ve done to make sure the younger generations NEVER FORGET. I believe people have forgotten.

    There's not a whole lot of people that can call their father, or husband, a real life hero. Ever since that day, I truly learned the risk firefighters take everyday to help complete strangers. We are thankful for your family, and prayers are with you.

    Anytime someone dies unexpectedly, it's gut-wrenching. The pain lasts for a long time. You go on with your life, but, in your heart, you drag that grief with you until you decide to let it go. I think the younger you are when it happens, the harder it is. Speaking from life experience. God bless everyone who's gone through it. There really does come a time down the road when you can think of that person and just be at peace.

    The strength of these young wives/moms absolutely blows my mind. I know a loss of any kind is awful but something about the idea of these young women who were just starting their families, to suddenly lose their husband and the father of their children and also lose the life they imagined for their families..it’s overwhelming. I know they had no choice but to move forward but they all seemed to have done so with amazing courage and commitment to raising their children to be good human beings. So heartbreaking and unfair.

      I am sorry for your loss and your pain.... To get some perspectives on life and death you can check ( as a starting point) the youtube channel of Suzanne Giesemann, an extraordinary wise woman.... Also people who had NDEs ( plenty of videos!) can give you a bit of inspiration to heal your trauma.... Hope this helps....

    You are so blessed to have your two beautiful sons and your nephew!! I think you learn how to carry them with you once they're gone...that's what I do each day too.
    He'll always be a part of your life and frankly I'm certain that the two of you wouldn't have it any other way. It's beautiful in it's own way... And, your husband died a Hero.

    I can understand a bit why she kept thinking he was coming home. My daughter died over three years ago. She was 38 and it was out of the blue. Because even though she had some very hard health issues, we had no idea she had a heart condition. She was my best friend, and such a beautiful shining soul. One moment she was here and then she was gone. Everyday I just knew it was a bad dream. We would wake up!, and she would be here. Because it was impossible to live in a world that she had left. I was in therapy for a long time. And I stopped going a few months back. But we are heading into a very difficult time of year for our family, and I feel the storm clouds forming and my ptsd and depression kicking up. I feel the Lord saying; you need to go back you’re not done. So I actually got ahold of my therapist today, and she was so great. We’ll be setting up appointments again soon. If you’re struggling, whether it’s one day or decades, get good help and support. God bless this sweet woman, and all of the families her words represent. 🙏🙏🙏
