Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Even though I wasn't at any of the "Ground Zero" areas, I was away from home and biological family members. My work colleagues had the good fortune to be staying with her sister and I can tell you it was very comforting to be at someones "home" during that time! We were supposed to fly back to our homes in Colorado on September 12, 2001 and I cannot thank Fran & Pete enough for taking us in until arrangements could be made to get back home! We ended up "buying" a car to make the trip, which broke down in Ohio, leaving us "stranded" again for the weekend in a strange town waiting for the car to be assessed. A rental car was what finally got us home almost 2 weeks after that day burned in our memories. Grateful to be home again, our shock and grief didn't hit us until a few days later and we were all "basket cases" for an entire 2 days. That whole month turned out to be disastrous. Five days after my return, my husband was killed in a terrible car accident (Sept. 24, 2001) which just added to my grief. His funeral was held in Laramie, Wyoming on our anniversary date September 29, 2001. Needless to say, I grieve for every person effected by those events, however, it has also been difficult, both emotionally and financially for those of us who weren't actually "at" the terrorist attack sites. Thank you for allowing me to tell "my" story too! Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
