I like this one: “Everything I needed to know about Islam, I learned on September 11, 2001.”
On that day, my beloved cousin, Michael “Big Mike” Lynch, FDNY, Ladder 4, laid down his life while performing his sworn duty to save lives. He was extricating victims from a stuck elevator in Tower 2...when the tower collapsed. Mike left a young wife, and two little sons, age one and age three.
His funeral could not be held until November, when they found his remains at the bottom of the elevator shaft.RIP, Mike, may your name be blessed from generation to generation of Lynches.
Had to be a rough day for your whole family as it was for so many others and the city itself. We all feel sorry for your loss. Doesn’t seem like 18 years have gone by as it’s still so fresh in our memories.
