***The VWL Groupies & Trivia Thread*** Chapter 2!

[Happydinks]

Last but not least, a Huge, Big, Humongous virtual hug to my pals Muushka ,MiasRn62 & BlossomZ. They knew that I am a 9/11 survivor (I was injured at the towers) and they sent me so much love and moosedust yesterday.

Eliza -

We did not know that you were there at the towers that awful day. To be able to have maintained your entertaining humor after surviving the day itself and what has sure to have been the challenges in the aftermath of that day - is a tribute to your inner strength and surely the support of your family. Our best to you.

If I have learned any thing from my experience it is that the vast amount compassion & love shown from people continues to boggle my mind and reaffirms my belief that we will survive any thing terrorist could possible throw our way.

I didn't know this, I am sorry for what you had to go through.

Wow, eliza61, I didn't know this either. That day will forever be etched into the minds of all Americans. Glad to have you among us!
to you, your friends, family and acquaintances that experienced first-hand the fear of what was to come and its aftermath.

Aahhh,
Now I'm babbling like an idiot at work. Thank you all so much. Ironically Happydinks, I pretty much think of every one else as survivors. I was injured when the 2nd plane hit the towers by falling debris. So basically one moment I remember looking at the fire and the next minute (actually 3 days later) I'm waking up in ICU. My only tipoff that some thing was seriously wrong was that "the old guy" had not gotten to the hospital. (he was in NJ and they were not letting anyone in or out of the city). I kept asking my sister to find out where the heck was he and thinking..."he is so going to owe me big time for this...

While everyone saw the worst of humanity that day, I have had the great pleasure and honor of experiencing the absolute best of my countrymen.
What I didn't have that you guys survived was the fear and trepidation that you guys had to live through. When I woke up, there was not chaios, we had not started a WWIII, there were no riots or breakdowns. This is utterly amazing to me, you guys quietly and peaceful sent your loved ones to school, work, church not knowing what the heck would happen next. On top of that, through some serious nationwide depression and anger you rallied around the victims like a Tsumani.

I still think I had the easy part.

Many hugs and disney days to you all.

Eliza, I am sorry to hear about your terrible ordeal during 9/11.

We must never forget and we must never rest until justice is served to ALL who were responsible.

 

[50 years Too!]

Eliza, I had no idea either. I'm sorry that you were hurt, but thankful you are still with us. Thinking of your lost coworkers and friends

This thread has me all choked up today, and I though yesterday was the day for that.

Yup, we are grateful that we have Eliza. One of these days I am going to meet her! My kindred spirit.

 

[eliza61]

hey any Houston groupies out there? Head for higher ground guys and stay safe. I'm looking at Ike and while he may carry only a 2, he sure is a big guy.

Check in with us when you can

 

[Laxmom]

Eliza, I absolutely admire your perspective and spirit. You, my dear, are one amazing person and I am so glad that I found this thread and you in it! You and your story have deeply touched me today.

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

Eliza I too had no idea of your experience. I was watching some of the shows on History channel last night and have one recorded. I sure will view them differently now knowing that you were there. I take it you worked in the towers? I am so thankful that you came through it. I couldn't imagine this thread without your humor and great stories!!! When we went to NYC 2 summers ago we visited Ground Zero. What a solemn experience.

Hope if we have any Texas groupies you will all be okay. Please take care and stay safe.

 

[Muushka]

I don't know if anyone remembers Mr Man, he posted here a few weeks ago. I see him on another thread and he is in the Houston area. For Mr Man and anyone else in the path of this very powerful storm.
