It was a clear bright sunny day on September-11th, 2001.It started as any ordinary day, but led to a change that would affect Molly's whole life forever.

 

 

 He worked as a firefighter, and she dreaded the long nights alone. She still feels Amber's passionate kiss, his last good-bye and his smiling face, lost forever. That morning the world was wrapped up in fear and cries. She knew that her husband had been a good man. He had saved many lives.

 

 

Today, after one whole year, standing by his grave she felt nothing but bitterness, anger and resentment.

Thanks everyone,

Hi Tinch,It's an Indian male name , means sky.

Buzzy, this is painfully sad and so true. You treated it with such delicacy. It is a wonderful piece.
lynn a. May 20, 2008, 8:16pm UTC
Oh, I am glad you explained it being an Indian male name, because I stopped there too, for a moment. I just don't think you could have done this better. It evokes an "oh, thank you" somehow from my heart.
Vikki M. May 20, 2008, 8:58pm UTC

After a year the anger is just beginning to heal with raw edges that hurt all the time and you cannot escape the pain.

Heartbreaking! We owe so much to the heroes of 9/11 and it's their families who have paid the ultimate price.

A most unforgettable story. The pathos hits hard. It was a bad day. A terrible day.
Stephanie B. May 23, 2008, 10:44am UTC
It's hard to live with someone else's sacrifice. Those cost you too if you love them.
Tracey W. May 23, 2008, 2:18pm UTC
I think you summed it up perfectly Bhawana. The hurt and pain of so many. Well done.
Ruthe M. May 23, 2008, 10:20pm UTC
Very sad, but poignant. Beautiful drabble.
June B. May 23, 2008, 11:35pm UTC
Bhawana, this a very sad story but one that many know well. Great drabble.
