Tonight on Larry King Live there was a man who lost 700 employees in the attack. I started watching in the middle so I didn’t see the entire piece. I didn’t think I could get any more heartsick than I was last Tuesday, but it seems I was wrong. This man was sobbing because he cannot pay money right now to the families of the victims because, well, his company is gone. He said that they are giving .25 for every $1.00 earned to the families. Watching him break down absolutely broke my heart.
I saw a clip of that. The more I hear, the more trouble I have wrapping my mind around the Big Picture
He was a potential customer a few years ago. My boss said, “He was a real jerk when I met him, but there I was, bawling along with him as I watched him on TV.” Some good will come of this yet.
Arden, wasn’t it awful? I’ve run out of ways to express my feelings for these people that are left. I find it hard to go about my life and I did not lose anyone. The people are left have to go on with life and I do not know what sustains them. I’m not a terribly sympathetic person in general, but this entire thing has made me wish I could wrap my arms around all and just…I dunno…let them feel the caring I have in my heart. Help them to not feel alone.
The Tin Man: “Now I know I’ve got a heart – 'cause it’s breaking.”
Just out of curiosity, how did he happen to be spared?
He was taking his child to his/her first day of school and was late for work.
Oh. My first thought was “Power Breakfast”.
He is the CEO for Cantor Fitzgerald.
