Excerpt from Gladiee’s unfinished Book “9/11 Love Story”:

“September 11, 2001, remains one of the darkest days in the history of New York City, and indeed, the world. On that fateful morning, the city that never sleeps was brought to its knees as the World Trade Center towers, symbols of America’s economic might and ambition, collapsed in a cataclysm of dust, debris, and despair. The events of that day left an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of millions, and the aftermath has been felt by countless more around the globe. The impact of the 9/11 attacks was not limited to the physical destruction of the towers. It reverberated through the lives of those who were there, those who lost loved ones, and those who watched in horror from afar. The memories of that day are etched into the collective consciousness, a painful reminder of the fragility of life and the unexpected nature of tragedy.

Among the many stories of loss and heroism that emerged from the ashes of 9/11 are those of the individuals who found themselves trapped in the upper floors of the North Tower, unable to escape as the building burned and crumbled around them. On the 106th floor, the “Windows on the World” restaurant, once a beacon of luxury and elegance, became a scene of unimaginable horror. Those who remained there, including my friend Roman and Julia, faced the grim reality that escape was impossible. In their final moments, they sought solace in each other, clinging to their love as they prepared to face the inevitable.

This book is dedicated to the memory of those who perished on that tragic day. It is a tribute to the lives lost, the families torn apart, and the bravery of those who stood tall in the face of fear. “In Loving Memory of…” is not just a reflection on the past, but a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit, the power of love, and the importance of remembering those who are no longer with us.
As we remember the events of September 11, 2001, let us honor the memory of those who died, and let their stories serve as a beacon of hope and resilience for future generations.”
