I was at work talking on the phone with my wife, when she told me it felt like something just crashed into our house. After flipping on a radio and hearing of an explosion downtown, I decided to call my mom to see if she knew what was happening. When she didn't answer, I turned on the TV and saw that it was her building and knew immediately in my spirit that she was gone.

It's hard to believe she has been gone for 11 years now. The hardest part has always been my kids growing up without their "Grammy" and the change it caused in my dad. Unfortunately, he looked to "stuff" (riches, houses, travel, etc...) to fill the hole left in his heart, instead of God and his family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your loss. Even though a number of years have passed, it still seems fresh, almost like it had happened last week.

You are still in my prayers as are all of those who lost loved ones that day.

May God continue to bless you and yours.

As if this tragedy isn't heartwrenching enough, to read a personalized account just breaks my heart that much more. God bless you, your children and your father.

Bless your heart and God rest your mother's soul.

Of course you feel sad on this and all other anniversaries, but I've always wondered if it's a hindrance or a comfort to you that many others are also memorializing your mom on this same day.

. . . When she didn't answer, I turned on the TV and saw that it was her building and knew immediately in my spirit that she was gone.

It's hard to believe she has been gone for 11 years now. The hardest part has always been my kids growing up without their "Grammy" . . .

I'm so very sorry for your loss and for your children's loss of their grammy. God rest her soul.
