little grandson are OK. Just got off the phone with him.
Hands still shaking a bit tho.
Reminded me of 9/11 when I couldn't get through to him for a couple of days. Actually, he was a real hero...he had rushed to lower Manhattan when he saw the twin towers come down. He drove a truck with supplies for the first responders to help them go through the burning rubble (he collected ice from bars and restaurants to go to put out burning rubble and people could be saved...
thank god for my family but I feel awful for the people who have lost family members due to this terrorism...

(34,136 posts)how fearful you were both times. I am glad they are safe. I would worry about my sons, only 65 miles away but at least they are close with each other so we are likely covered with support. Go relax, that had to be a trial waiting to know.
