    Eric was a "real one" too, but we never saw him again after 8:46 am. Except his hand, but his mom prefers we don't go into detail about it. She had it cremated, made into a necklace & wears it on her person every day. She's all right with us saying that part. She told it in an interview.

    I am a Brooklyn resident and will certainly go to panel n53 this week to humbly honor the memory of Wendy Rosario Wakeford in what small way I can.

    It was refreshing to hear stories from neighbors who lived through 9/11 as well as survivors from the towers and their families. It is wise to keep this history alive. Thank you.

    Same. Never imagined that someone would see the towers begin to collapse from their own apartment.

    Dear Gail, my husband and I watched what happened in New York from our home in Perth Australia. It was around 10pm our time and we could not sleep all night. I cannot even begin to imagine what you went through. Your story really touched my heart! We are bird lovers also, so to hear you saved all the precious birds made me so happy. Your goodness is so apparent and I hope you are living a happy life xx

    Im in awe at this story but the fact that you could live in lower Manhattan in the financial district as a PET sitter and birds at that is INCREDIBLE. it's why i love NYC what a city. Lol I'm glad you saved the birds. I love birds!

    Thanks for sharing your story. So many unique stories from that day. This is heartbreaking like the rest of them, but I'm glad you were able to make it to safety (and save all those birds). Your friend who evacuated the high schoolers is the definition of courage.
