As a fellow New Yorker and Israeli, I agree with everything you are saying. It sucks that we live in a world where at any moment some psycho can just wipe us off the face of the earth. So many people are affected and lives changed forever.

I just want to say that I think you are a writer a cut above the average blogger, and I have really enjoyed reading your site the last few months.

I love your awesome critique of your crazy family…

I love reading about your hubby your gorgeous twins

I love reading about your unique Israeli perspective…I really don’t know of another blog with that perspective (FYI..Paul is playing there soon!)

I also think you write well and your posts are never boring.

Lastly, today’s post was very moving and thought provoking.

You rock!

Mike

It did bring to light how scary of a place the world is but also that there are still kind, loving people out there who will do anything to help a perfect stranger. There is always hope.

I’m thankful that I can go upstairs and kiss my precious babies and then spend some time with my husband just hanging out at home in our pj’s…nothing beats that.

The whole WORLD got shaken up that day, but to be there … I can’t imagine.

Today, I am thankful that I got to spend 15 minutes cuddling my husband, before he went to his dreaded chemo. Soon he will come home …”The Beige Man” again. And it will take three weeks to recover, then it’s chemo again.

But, we cuddled and I was so thankful.

Oh, and ps ….. I GOT YOUR PARCEL!!!! Of COURSE I must blog about it. You are too. Totally. Cool.

XOXOXOXOX

Even though we were attacked, I am thankful to live in America where the threats of road side bombs and terrorists blowing themselves up aren’t something we have to live in fear of everyday.

I am thankful for so many things…my children and other family, stability, health..and all the other many blessings I’ve received.

I am thankful that I can’t sleep in – that I have no time to myself anymore – that I wake up in the middle of the night with my baby – I am thankful that my daughter fusses, laughs, and screams. I know I complain a lot but I have no reason to do so. I love my life and hate that so many others lost their lives.

I lived in Miami on 9/11 and I was at work in the tallest building in Miami that day. We were scared that this was going to spread across the entire country. So we all left work early. I went home to my apartment on the 22nd floor in downtown Miami. I thought, was my building next? No planes flew in the sky for days. It was a creepy feeling. Everyone was different from that day on.

My best friend who worked at the law firm with me cried for days. He used to work at a bond firm in the towers – the firm where hundreds of people died on 9/11. My friend Kevin took leave from work to attend numerous funerals.

I will never ever forget.
