Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On the morning of 9-11, my husband, Cornell Roberts, and I were scheduled for a 10:00 a.m. business meeting at the World Trade Center. We had planned to travel from Virginia to New York CITY on the previous afternoon and had scheduled to stay in a NYC hotel. Since neither of us had ever visted inside the WTC, we made plans to enjoy a light breakfast on the top floor of the WTC at about 8:30 a.m. We told no one of of our plans- not family nor friends. ( not an usual thing for us, as we often traveled without telling anyone) THE ONLY REASON WE ARE HERE TODAY IS DUE TO A TWIST OF FATE! I became violently ill due to something I ate on Monday morning, so we canceled our plans for September 11th. Had we carried out our plans we surely would have been killed. I shutter to think about how our family and friends would have anguished over our being missing and the not knowing where we could possibly be. (Cornell says he thinks he casually mentioned to a friend some weeks earlier that we had planned to visit NYC but wasn't sure.) We will never again, make travel plans without letting someone know of our whereabouts. We are grateful to God almighty, that we are here to tell our story but, first and foremost, to express our deepest sympathies to all those families touched by the tragedy. September 11th has profoundly touched anyone around the globe with a heart and a sense of humanity. In the end there is only LOVE. Perhaps someday humankind will learn and apply the proper balance of LOVE, PEACE, POWER and JUSTICE. May they triumph over hate, discord, dominence and injustice.
