After such an intensely emotional day, I’d just been settling down when I saw your comments. This time, as the tears roll down my cheeks, they’re tears of unbridled appreciation that you are my brother and sister…

I love you with all my heart and soul

But actually the most touching moment came on sept 11th it's self when my wife who left work to go get our son out of school early to come to the fire house brought our 9 year old son and he turned to me and asked "daddy are we gonna die. that was the moment for me that i resolved to try to move on and see this extremely traumatic experience through. for him.for those left behind and for those that were still missing at that moment. i think we had 8 firefighters that were also members of F.D.N.Y. we started to try to account for each and every one of them. and i think that evening Chief Pete was the only one that we had not found heard from or got a message from that were ok. see in the end I only played a very very small part of 9/11 as every other member did we all wanted to be there to do our part. our powerlessness was obvious. many o us just kept coming back to the fire house because we didn't know what else to do. id go home for a few hours and hug lorraine and anthony an just felt the need to be at headquarters. i still dont know why but i just remember i had to be there. now 8 years later we filled facebook with images of that day, memorials, remembrances. and life goes on. yes we are all different people. hopefully a little more compassionate, loving grateful and patriotic.
