My daughter in St. Paul finally called late last night

[skygazer]

She was home, didn't even realize the bridge was out and the phones not working and when the phones began working again was startled to receive a dozen text messages and several calls.

Thanks to those who were concerned. It's very much appreciated. :hug:

1. Wonderful news, skygazer! I wasn't online last night

and didn't realize you were worried about your daughter. So glad she is home safe!

[snacker]

2. Thank goodness.

Your daughter was in my thoughts all night.

7. That's sweet of you

Thanks for your thoughts. :hug:

3. Good

My Dad was in the air between Miami and Charlotte on 9/11. None of us heard anything for hours. It's scary as hell.

6. Wow, I bet that was just awful!

This same daughter was in Manhattan on 9/11 - she worked at Castle Clinton, at the southern tip, just blocks away from the WTC.

Luckily she was at home that day and had the presence of mind to email me immediately. Kid's a disaster magnet. :wtf:

4. Thank God she is OK, I bet you were a bit on edge?

I wish people would be considerate when a disaster like that occurs. I am sure there was a lot of unnecessary phone use going on clogging the circuits. I can't blame people trying to contact loved ones but I am sure there was also a lot of idle chit-chat that tied up the lines.

5. Yay!!!!

So glad to hear she's safe!
You poor, scared mama!

8. Thanks, Lara

I would have posted last night but I was pooped and drained. Kids suck - I always kind of thought that when they grew up and moved out, you stopped worrying about them. HAH!

I should have raised hamsters. :nuke:

9. Oh you must have been in a state...

I didn't know your daughter was even in St. Paul...

Bet hearing her voice last night was quite a relief. :)

10. Thanks for letting us know

I am so relieved for you, you'd been in my thoughts since I read that you were worried about her yesterday. So glad for both of you that everything is okay for your family. :hug:
