Another story from 9-11 that defies words, LB. Thanks for posting his story. I often wondered how the individuals who were alive, but badly injured that day, have coped. His story is a lesson in courage for all of us.

.....You tell them your husband needs you," the nurse said.

The nurse enumerated his injuries. He was unconscious. He had suffered serious smoke inhalation and was breathing with an artificial respirator. He had burns to 60 per cent of his body. He had a broken neck and a broken back. His eyes had also been damaged, possibly from his contacts melting in his eye sockets.
