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

“New York City, in its golden days before September 11, 2001, was a beacon of vibrancy and endless possibilities. It was a city alive with the hum of ambition and the rhythm of countless lives intertwined, where the skyline stood as a testament to human ingenuity and the spirit of progress. Life in New York was filled with dignity and purpose, with every street and skyscraper reflecting the dreams and aspirations of its people.

Then came that fateful day September 11, 2001 a day that would forever alter the course of the city’s history. Amidst the chaos and destruction, New Yorkers clung to their resilience, finding strength in unity and dignity in the face of unimaginable loss. The city that had once thrived in light now faced a darkness that tested the very fabric of its existence. Yet, even in the midst of destruction, there was a defiant heartbeat a determination to endure, to rebuild, and to honor the memories of those who were lost.

Today, New York City stands as a testament to that resilience. Rising from the ashes, it continues to embody the excitement and vibrancy that has always defined it. The skyline has been rebuilt, and the spirit of New York is stronger than ever. The city pulses with renewed energy, a living tribute to its past, present, and future a place where dreams are not just dreamed but realized, where life continues to be lived with an unwavering sense of purpose and vitality.”
