[QUOTE="Henry, post: 335882, member: 158"] 9/11/01 was the day I KNEW for a fact that ENWorld was a strong community. My day started at work, where at roughly 8:30 we had JUST gotten back up and running smoothly after a server crash from the day before. It bugged me that certain replacement parts weren't available, and most of my morning until about 9:00 was preoccupied with that. My attitude rapidly changed after 9:00 am. When the first reports started rolling in, Everyone in the company was transfixed. I solved a few issues, but by and large was not that busy. I used the time to catch up on news - which NO one was getting other than by TV - and by ENWorld. :) I used TripleH's threads to keep the news flowing. This community meant a lot to me that day - everything from the messages of support from all over the world, to the flow of info, to the concern and offer of prayers and concern from most everyone here. One other thing that needs mentioning - 9/11 is a day also to toast one of our own. The good [i]Chairman Kaga[/i], whose harrowing report which came about a day later, is a chilling one I will not forget. He was [i]just stepping off the subway[/i] when the first plane hit - he said he looked up to see the whole thing. His other statements I will not relate here due to content and vividness, but they will stay with me forever. His joy of escaping alive, his progress over his hurt knee, I remember following. His tragic recent passing makes it an even stronger memory for me. 9/11 is a day to count your blessings, to be happy about the health and life you possess, and to be ecstatic about the friends and family and relationships you have. Count all your blessings, because they can be fleeting. Love to all. [/QUOTE]
