Welcome back!
I was 6 months pregnant on September 11, 2001. I woke to answer the ringing phone, my mom’s voice tense on the other end. She simply said “Turn on the TV.” I did, and watched in horror as the events unfolded in front of my eyes.
At my checkup a week later, my midwife shared deep concerns about her pregnant and postpartum mothers processing the traumatic events of 9/11. With bodies and minds focused on providing a safe nest for new lives in our care, we felt exceptionally vulnerable.
Eight years later, with two beautiful children I am blessed to share each day with, I signed up to honor the 2,996 lives that were lost on that day. I will be posting a tribute to at least one of these people – to rightly remember their life, not their death. If you are interested, please take a look at Project 2,996. Even if you don’t have a blog, there are ways to help.
