A moving essay. Thank you for sharing, Sara. I think of all the major disasters that have occurred since 2001, the pandemic for one. "Your people" are more important than ever.
Sara, I echo all of the comments. This was a beautiful, personal, and emotional piece. I'm so glad to be getting to know you through your writing and through Foster! Keep doing more of what you do!
Makes me remember vividly the day! I had Grandma Betty watching tv while I took Caity to school never dreaming my world would never be the same again! First thing I did while watching the news was to call you to see if you were ok. Somehow I got through and was so relieved to hear your voice! You were on the steps trying to get out of your building. I didn’t speak to you again for 24 hours but I knew for sure you were alive. I took some comfort from that but never relaxed for years and now…??? Thanks for reminding me how lucky I was to still have all my babies alive!
Your recollection of being paranoid about a lack of productivity, and "what the boss is going to think," while you and everyone else watch the fucking world burn, is still such an accurate description of life in corporate America. May I forever remain #delivert

Love you, mom!
Such a great piece, Sara. I’m working on a 9/11 piece that I first started writing a long time ago as well, and it totally feels like a time capsule.
20 years!!
How is that possible when I’m still (mentally) in my 20s?!
Haha totally
Wow, thanks for sharing this experience.
Thank you, Jean!
