I will never forget that morning. It was early here on the West coast. I was reading my Bible in the window seat, when my husband turned on the television...We could not stop watching that horrifying event as it unfolded, praying for those who were caught inside. That day changed all of us.

A few years ago I read a book - The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland by Jim Defede.<br /><br />This was an incredibly inspiring and thought provoking book. The kindness displayed by the population of Gander to so many people who were passengers on the planes that could not enter US air space is overwhelming. I was touched by many of the stories - Orthodox Jewish people, and the the story of the Jewish chap who had lived in Newfoundland since the War years and not told his wife he was Jewish, the lady who left complete strangers in her home to shower inviting them to rest and relax and to simply close the door when they left. The trust of the Newfoundlanders during a time filled with mistrust was amazing. Not to mention the story of the young couple bringing back to the US their adopted daughter and of course the couple whose son was a firefighter in New York.<br /><br />Incredible stories, about a day filled with such dreadful news.Julie Goucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368170005503879489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749871.post-9298238399861145742014-09-11T11:03:27.031+01:002014-09-11T11:03:27.031+01:00Thanks for posting this, Julie.

At the time, I was working for management consultants with offices in New York, not in the WTC, but in a neighbouring block. The company lost everything, but no lives were lost. It took 3 days to account for everyone. So today, we should all light a candle, not just for those who died, but also for those who survive x.Lesley Beetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18384323023378437869noreply@blogger.com
