I was a consulting psychologist at a nursing facility in Syracuse that morning. I remember it being a pleasant, warm sunny day. I was going from one patient to my next one when my wife called me on the cell phone and told me what happened. I hurried to the community room at the facility and watch what was going on for a few minutes in total disbelief. It was very difficult to finish out my day seeing my patients but I managed to do it. I was stunned.
To make matters worse, September 11 is my wife’s birthday. She turned 40 on that day and we had a big celebration planned. Needless to say, we did not celebrate.
