From chaos to community – we all lived it – no longer strangers, we
still grieve together and our views of New York just haven’t been the same,
since.
Especially, from here in Jersey.
I can’t believe that it’s been 7 years, but I do remember how terribly
frightened I was — living just across the bay from the World Trade
Center in New York City — with my two oldest already in elementary
school and me home, alone, with a toddler and a 2 month old.
Honestly, do I really want to remember?
I learned about Snag Films, while looking for links to share for this month’s column on the Imperfect Parent, and was totally blown away by their first annual September 11th Remembrance in Film.
There are five documentary films slated, featuring the critically acclaimed 7 Days in September, the films will be available in their entirety, without commercial interruption, at both www.snagfilms.com and www.indiewire.com between today and September 12th, 2008.
I ask that you take a moment, sometime today, to watch this 90-minute
film and I promise, you WILL remember that – although, we may run in
different circles – the kindness and compassion of the human heart knows no
boundaries.
Peace to you, my friends.

This is wonderful. I lost my cousin on the 102nd floor and checked in people for flight 11, as I worked for the airlines at the time. We survived history and we need to remember it. Thank you.

Dearest Julie,
I am so, so very sorry for your loss.
If you don’t mind, could you please tell me your cousin’s name, to share with our readers?
Anyone else, please feel free to do the same.
I want to also remember that the victims of 9/11 were all “real” people, and not just a number, with loved ones who still really miss them.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Absolutely. Here’s the link with his picture and info:
http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/memorial/people/4137.html
Martin Boryczewski is his name.
We called him Marty.
The comment on that page is from his sister, my cousin, Julie. I spoke with her a few weeks ago and she was saying her mother is still in denial. Since his floor was directly hit, they never recovered anything from him, so they really had no closure.
Thanks for posting this.
