Hope you all enjoy this very special episode of the podcast with my family remembering 9/11 with my father and all those we lost that day. ❤️ Also it's definitely the 23rd anniversary not the 24th as I mentioned in intro!
RIP im so sorry for your loss, I was born on 9/11/2001 and I don’t even really celebrate on my birthday out of respect for all the lives lost. Great podcast
Been going down the rabbit hole today and found your video. My father was on the 100th floor of Tower 1. I have never seen a video with a family discussing the tragedy before. Thank you for your video.
It obviously doesn’t compare to your loss, but the rest of the nation who knew no one that died on 9/11, felt a real sense of grief for those who were lost.
My father's death was such a private and intimate thing between me and my siblings. I can't imagine sharing that grief with the world. 9/11 was a worldwide trauma; I didn't lose anyone that day, but I feel that loss, that anger, that grief, every time I recall that day.
9/11 has been the worse thing to happen in my lifetime. My Aunts BIL was on flight 11 that flew into the North Tower. Although I did not know him personally the fear that all felt on that day will always sadden me,
Just wanted to share that I don’t have anyone I personally lost on 9/11, however when I visited Ground Zero I felt an immense rawness as I walked through this memorial that brought tears to my eyes. I think it’s a beautiful memorial and sacred ground that is impactful to people who visit it, even if they are not personally connected. Also, loved the conversation you had with your family. Thanks for sharing!
Man. Sorry for your loss. I was a freshman in college (LA CA), got woken up (super hungover even on a tuesday) by my roommate. Across the hall, our dormmates dad and aunt we knew worked in tower 2. I saw his face as he came down the stairs and saw the TV. Its like time stopped. I still cant wrap my head around 9/11 any and all innocence lost in a 136 min period. Went to ground zero a year after, the stairwell/some of shell was still standing with lights behind it. Such a sad day but brought us closer as Americans. RIP
As someone who lost a parent to Covid it feels like you put into words the shared experience. There was this huge large thing that affected so many people and yet also my family so personally, thank you for sharing your story.
. I was friendly with your sister Jacqueline growing up. She was best friends with my friend Kathleen. I remember your family every single year around this time since one of my best friends at the time lost her father 9/11 as well as your family. It was very sad. Something I will never forget. Sending prayers to you all ❤ this is a great page that can help a lot with their loss and grief. Thank you
I’m sorry for your loss. Thanks for letting us listen in on such a personal story. I am always sending my love to those we lost, and those whose lives haven’t been the same since that day. We will never forget ❤
My hometown.. didnt lose anyone personally but im 32 years old and it hurts me every single year! I pray and honor people like your father. Its a must. My deepest condolences to you and your family. We are with you guys every single year. What a shame on This country. We know the truth..
Thank you guys for sharing your story ❤ I'll never forget that day. My friend's mom made it out of the towers but died resting on a bench when they collapsed with 2 other people. Back in the day with not everyone having cellphones, we had 2 payphones at school and the amount of calls for help or to family the lines were overcrowded and couldn't even call out. NY strong 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷 I'll never forget ❤
Even though I do not personally know of anyone who died on 9/11.. I will never forget that day. I think a lot of people know of someone lost that day. I cannot imagine what you all went through that day.. heartbreaking. So very sorry. 🙏🙏🙏
Same. Greetings from Quin in County clare. A lady from clarecastle village. rang her father from the South Tower just after the North Tower was hit. He told her to get the hell out. She took his advise. Just as she walked out of the Tower. UA175 hit her floor.
I just found you today and I truly appreciate you and your family speaking so honestly about the personal loss of your dad. What an extraordinary family you all are......your mother is exceptionally strong and I just love her!
Thank you to you and your family for sharing your experiences. I was hundreds of miles away from New York on 9/11. It’s interesting to hear what people who were actually there have felt over the years. Mom is just lovely and a beautiful soul. ❤
I was 4 when it all happened. 9/11 is one of my first real memories in life. I did not understand the dimension of it but I still remember the fear in my mother’s eyes everytime it hit the news. She, as many, feared a world war III for pretty much a whole year after that. Looking back now I can’t imagine how scary and sad it all was. Somehow I “thank” God for being a small kid and not having the maturity to truly understand the severity of events. You’re all in my prayers. Your father’s memories are still alive inside of you, your children and other genetations to come, 💙🙏🏻
This is my first time here… thank you so much for sharing.. I live in South Jersey so I’m close enough to see the gray sky for weeks after the attacks, but not close enough to know anyone directly who lost someone. I appreciate hearing your story and I’m sending my love. I’m so happy for the bond you all have now…. Who knows if it would’ve been the same or different without this experience, but I know I’m changed for hearing your story. And I’m so grateful. Thank you again for sharing.
So sorry for your loss. It was horrific day. That day i had no access to tv. I was born in new york and always felt connected as a new yorker. I remember every year and watch every thing on it. It was surreal. Those towers were a symbol of the new york skyline. It affected so many people. Even in the small town i live in now a couple died. ❤❤
When I was much younger, long before and especially after 9/11, I was someone who believed that everything happened for a reason... Well...I was young and naive then, and I suppose I hadn't suffered enough loss in that time to put things into a more mature perspective. These days, I don't believe that anymore, but I do believe that our suffering and loss are not wasted. In suffering and loss of loved ones, we can accept, we can forgive, and we can move forward, but we won't ever forget. We will always carry them with us. God is faithful. (Romans 8:28) It's good to remember how united we were as a nation (Under God) and as families and friends soon after that time and space after 9/11 happened... Let us all ditch the current trend of cancel culture and political divisiveness and work together to get there again. ❤️🇺🇸❤ Sending much love, peace, and prayers for you and your family as you all remember and share your cherished memories of your dad and husband.🤍✌️🙏🕊
I am so very sorry for what you and your family went thru because of 911. I can't imagine how you all dealt with it and the pain it caused all of you. Our world changed that day. I am sure you dad is looking down on you and is very proud of you all. You are all in my prayers. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I visited the memorial and museum a few weeks ago when I visited New York. It was so heartbreaking and surreal that it even happened. I wish your family didn’t have to go through this pain, thank you for sharing your story.
My husband lost his only son to Covid. He was 29. He had developed blood clots. One dislodged and stuck in his heart. It’s been over 2 years ago. Totally unexpected. Still feel the loss to this day. Thank you for allowing all who loss loved ones in unexpected ways to share these experiences. 9/11 changed how I have learned to deal with personal loss
Thank you so much for sharing your story and perspective on the situation. It’s nice to see as a family how you’ve helped each other along the way all these years. God bless you guys and your family 🙏
thank you so much for this and sharing your experience. When I finally got to the memorial I felt like I was walking to the resting place of many people I knew. I cried for them and spoke to them, telling them how sorry I am that they lost their lives in such a horrific way. I’m so glad you all have thrived and found ways to move on, we all love you!
I was only 3 years old when 9/11 happened so I didn’t understand anything but, when I was in high school us. History class we watched a documentary on 9/11 and I was so devastated. I am so sorry for you all and anyone else who lost someone to this 😞
Why is everyone so bent on calling out that it’s 23 years. He obviously knows it’s 23 years, he lost his father. it’s an easy mistake while talking publicly. This was a lovely conversation and you have a lovely family. Love that your mom shared her NDE and she was blessed with reassurance from that. Praying for your family and everyone else who has suffered loss!
I became a NYC residence in 2006, however I still remember the night (in Japan) watching TV as live. Now I work around World trade center area. Sending my love and hugs to you and your family.
I'm so sorry about your Dad & so happy that Mom came back to you, she's a force‼️ My hubs was supposed to be at the Pentagon that day and the hours until I found out he was safe were absolutely terrifying; I cannot imagine what you and your family went through, not just on that day but throughout the years since. Thank you all for sharing this with us...love & hugs to you all❣️
this is amazing to watch. I am so sorry for your loss. RIP to your father. so many moving things in this. your family seems pretty wonderful. I love how connected you all are and how real you are as well. I love your mother calling your father "daddy" when referring to him. the "mom-can we please have your home cooking again" so dear. that is amazing. what a gorgeous way to reconnect to her-to the family-to what is special about your family that is just yours. I am so sorry your family had to go through such a tumultuous tragedy like this. I salute you all. thanks for posting. sending your family love. I am a New Yorker. Your story is so important.
So happy to have found your channel! ❤️ In my spirituality, I meditate with Death often, and, like life, it is so vibrant, playful, and devastating- love how you approach this. So glad to hear your dad’s story. Going to explore your other videos now, for sure! There should be conversation about death if there is to be understanding ❤️
Lord.bless this sweet family, thank you for giving then a father and husband worthy of being tremendously missed. God bless everyone who lost a loved one that day, America still is grieving with you. ❤
Thank you to you and your family for sharing your experiences. I was hundreds of miles away from New York on 9/11. It’s interesting to hear what people who were actually there have felt over the years
I'm new to your channel, and the only thing I can say is...what a beautiful family you have. I was 11 when I visited the wtc with my Dad in 2000. It was absolutely my favorite place in nyc when I was a kid. I remember standing infront looking up with my dad and being mesmerized by all of it. I still have a brochure from the wtc observatory with me, when people called them "the twins" and it's one of my treasures, I hope I can donate it someday to the memorial museum. ..then a year later in 2001, watching all that happened and remembering faces, places, wondering what could have happened to the people I saw that day affected me a lot as a child idk why, i was just a tourist that day, but it felt personal somehow. For some reason I have always been attached to that place, and everytime I go to nyc I just go to the memorial, it's a must for me.
So amazed at the way you guys are able to talk about your dad/husband and all the love you share. I’m sure he was right there with you as you shared your feelings. Lovely, looking forward to more talks with families of 9/11.🫶🏻
I’m so sorry for your loss. I was about 10 when this happened. I was in 5th grade but I watched the news for a long time after this. My dad and grandparents are from NY. I understand what you’re saying about those who lost someone on not a special day. I lost my dad a week after his 56th birthday in 2020. Then I lost my aunt in August 2021, my grandpa exactly 3 months later. My grandma January 2024, my other grandpa Feb 2024 and my other grandma may be passing soon.
My hometown lost a lot of people I'm from Madison ct and so many commuted. The town green has flags up for the whole month one for each person. Each flag has their name, some information about them, job and location of death. I walk thru it every year.
You're sister mentioned she is preparing to tell a story. May I ask what for and can we see her tell that story. You've got a good family there. Cherish them everyday. Much love from the UK. P.S. I will be lighting a candle for all lives lost 23 years ago. Never Forget
Thanks for sharing. Pretty sure I didn't sleep for 2 days after this and lost my job as a driver/security due to the majority of the clients being American. I always wanted to visit the towers growing up, it was the only thing I wanted to see... I've yet to go to New York. 🇨🇦🇺🇸
Gosh your mom talking about they’re still here. 😢. I feel sometimes my very own dad who past away in different situation he was there with me in my 20s. When I fawked up and I needed help
It is horrible when dad goes to work and he never comes home. Mine was taken in 1992 by evil people. But my heart felt so much pain to think about all the people who not longer we’re gonna see their dads 😢
🟣 is the highest color. The color of spirituality and protection. Donna Douglas sometimes has purple emanating from her eyes. Look up Donna Douglas howdy there picture. It's the only picture that connects us in such a profound way
I HAD THE SENSE AS I MARCHED 7 TIMES UP & DOWN THOSE STEPS THAT IN PRAYER I WAS BREAKING SOMETHING EVIL BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD WITH HIS SCRIPTURES I SPOKE OUTLOUD OVER THOSE STEPS & PEOPLE.
@@deadtalkspodcastHonestly as a person who lost a parent in August of 2002, I get the number wrong to. Don't let these people bully you into feeling bad. I am sorry you lost your dad in 9/11. It was a horrible tragedy.
Am i stupid or was the title supposed to be "My Family's 9/100 story" instead of "My families 9/11 story"? Doesn't the title as a whole imply this one person's multiple families experience in 9/11, which doesn't make sense. Just family's
The effect it had on his family surely spread far and wide to many people they knew. There are also sub families within a whole family. So maybe the title isn’t too far off. 😊
They are reliving the most traumatic thing that happened to them as a family. Being vulnerable to share with you and others. And this is your take away?
@@nicolepsy who’s the world? You? Who cares about what you think, snowflake? How long are we going to have to accept whatever is given to us? That was the most disrespectful 9/11 interview I heard with those attention seekers who don’t even remember the correct date
