9/11
Patriot’s Day
Small
Miracles
- The head of a company survived 9/11 because his son
started kindergarten.
- Another man was alive because it was his turn to
bring donuts.
- One woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go
off on time.
- Another was late because he was stuck on the NJ
Turnpike due to an auto accident.
- One missed his bus.
- One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time
to change.
- One man's car wouldn't start.
- One person went back to answer the telephone.
- One had a child that dawdled and didn't get ready as
soon as he should have.
- One person couldn't get a taxi.
One that really struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that
morning. Before he got to the Towers he developed a blister on his foot, so
he stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid. That's why he is alive today.
These reasons, and more,
are why some people didn't die
on 9/11/2001.
Of course, we know that thousands of
people didn't survive the attacks: but authorities were expecting the death
count to be much higher than it was. Hundreds, or thousands, of small
"coincidences" may be the reason why many people were not in the
Towers that morning.
Now when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a
ringing telephone --all the little things that annoy me-- I think to myself,
this is exactly where I'm meant to be at this very moment.
