My tagline says that I live in a world of people and paperwork.

One of the biggest events, that the American population experienced happened approximately 10 years ago on 9.11.2001.  That day is one that has gone down in history for changing the lives of the American public.  It is not a day to forget; for many who lost loved ones in the attacks or since the attacks, it is a day they cannot forget. 

As we are nearing the 10 year anniversary, I still vividly recall what I did and saw that day.  The Story Corp has done an amazing job memorializing individual stories from September 11.  Please check out this website for more information and consider donating.

‘Always a Family’ Remembers a Father’s Last Phone Call on 9/11

StoryCorps records true stories as told by real people and then brings them to life with animation. ‘Always a Family’ is the heartbreaking story of a father who called his family on the morning of September 11 from the 103rd floor of the North Tower to say goodbye.

This one is completely heartbreaking — you’ll probably need a hug after you watch it.
