Luck was on our side. Why? Why us, and not others? My heart goes out to all the those that had loved ones and friends who did not survive.
My younger son was in the second tower to get hit. He was there for a Morgan Stanley training session for a few days. That day, of all days. While he was in turmoil, I was watching the replay of the towers being hit.
But he got out. Down, down, down 65 flights of stairs in a mass of running people. Are there words to say how thankful my family and I are for being one of the lucky ones? No, not at all...no words can convey it.
We went out to dinner last night, spur of the moment, my son, daughter-in-law and I. I looked at his face on the eve of September 11 after 10 years. My joy was only overshadowed by the grief of other families and what our country went through.
I am watching the memorials today and listening to all the support that has been given. I am thinking that it is almost impossible to fathom the dichotomy of good and evil.
Peace to everyone touched by September 11, 2001.

About Me
- Susan
- Landscape design has been an important part of my life for many years. Whether it be creating a master plan, designing a small garden, selecting paving materials, or choosing plant material for color throughout the year, I design landscapes that are extremely creative and colorful. It is very satisfying to take a property and either enhance it or create a totally new picture. I live and work in New Jersey, but I also provide online designs.
