ground zero--my experience
so today my best friend and i toured ground zero.
her dad is one of the top guys in bovis, the company cleaning up the site, and her 2 brothers work there as well, so we were allowed past the barriers. we got up close and personal.
all i can say is WHOA. it is unbelievable so up close. we stood at the top of the mound and her dad explained everything that was going on. they had just found a civilian this morning. it took us forever just to walk around it. it was an incredible and humbling experience.
then we ate lunch in the "taj mahal" as they call it. it is FILLED with banners and there are cards on each table from children and others. the workers are treated so nicely by the wonderful salvation army people. we had to clean off our clothes, hands and shoes before we could enter--i proceeded to soak my feet right through my sneakers!
i admire those workers. they work 12 hour shifts sometimes in the rain, cold, snow, etc...and they never complain. what an important job they have.
just thought i'd share this. i'll never forget it. it was so important to me that i get down there--i can't believe i was able to see all that i did. there's so much going through my brain that i don't even know what to write. keep all those workers in your prayers--they deserve all the help we can give
