My dad worked at the Pentagon on that day…thank god he survived. Regardless, the time period before I knew that he was OK was the worst part of my life so far. Perhaps that is why I am getting drunk right now. But I get to see my daddy in a couple of days, so what do I have to complain about?

Cheers!

Many of us had close calls. I am also happy to be alive. 🆒
