courtney and i are OK; in shock; trying to cope. we each
know of a number of missing people.
yesterday i felt and heard the blasts from my apartment;
watched as clouds of smoke billowed down onto our street;
felt a shudder as the world trade center collapsed.
literally -- my neighbor and i were sitting on my floor,
watching it on TV and saying to each other "that's that
rumble; that's what it is." it was surreal -- i unpacked
all the towels courtney and i have been given as wedding
gifts and rolled them all under doors, in windows, to
prevent smoke.
courtney walked back to brooklyn from midtown; it was
a four hour ordeal and many intense sights.
i'm holding on here in brooklyn today -- joined a group
of hundreds of people out to volunteer time, food,
clothes and blood. everyone who can help is out there
doing it, it appears.
thanks for asking about us -- my thoughts and prayers
are with all today as we struggle to get things stabilized.
-- emily
