I agree!

Glad I asked the question, glad you answered and glad to have met you on your Sixth Anniversary "Getawat" Trip. I could tell there was something special about your group and was happy to come home and read your book and get to know you all a little bit more through your stories. Mostly, I am happy you have found such strength in each other and loved the message the love continues to grow in spite of difficult times.

Your friend from Palmetto Bluff,

Kirsten

Love You, Mean It has depressed me beyond great means. That coming from a reader's stand-point, I cannot imagine what you ladies went through.

I read about your book on Amazon and found my way over here to your website. I'll share my story with you and anyone else reading this, although I intend for it to take nothing away from the true focus of this website, which is the shocking loss of your wonderful husbands. Well, I lost my best friend two weeks after 9/11, as an indirect result of the tragedy over there in NYC. She was working here in Australia at the Australian Financial Review, a major financial newspaper here, as a sub-editor. She had such a strong work ethic that when her boss kept calling her in for late shifts and double shifts, she did them. She was working her fingers to the bone, and was due to go on a sunny holiday up the coast a few weeks later. Anyway, as the stock market was in chaos as a result of the WTC being hit, there was a hell of a lot more work for her to do at the newspaper than normal. We didn't know she had a weak heart - she was only 32 and so fit and healthy - and it all caught up with her in that fortnight after the tragic events of September. She died before the month was through. I don't automatically connect her death with September 11 until I remember that she did - indirectly - die as a result. A list was found in her flat of things she wanted to mention to her doctor and a heart check was on it. Had she not been overworked, she might have lived to see the doc and been given medication or an op or who knows what. Anyway, I didn't come here to write all that, but to tell you that I found some strength reading the eulogies on your website. Strength and immense sadness. It's strange, isn't it, to think that the effects of 9/11 stretched around the globe. Even here in Australia, the mood was very depressed. It must've been all over the Western world, if not most of the rest of the world as well. I always forget this too - I was slated to fly to the US the next day to meet up with my American boyfriend again. In fact, I awoke to start packing my suitcase when Mum yelled upstairs for me to turn on the TV, that something terrible had happened. I never knew, talking to my best friend for those two weeks, that she'd be lost to me soon. We'd been the best of friends for 19+ years. I broke up with my American BF as a result of all the misery and tragedy that September/October. Our engagement was off. We decided, six years later, to give it another go and we've now been married for just over a year over here in Oz. I am starting to find it bizarre that Anne is stuck in time somehow - she's perpetually 32 to me but I'm now 39, she was right into the fashions and music of 2001, she knew all the news that was fit to print but only up until September of 2001, she doesn't know I broke up with my American or that we ultimately married so many years later... I could go on and I know you all could too. I don't mean to compare my loss to yours too much - especially with regards to the manner in which they died. While the death of Anne was an abject SHOCK - we were all stunned and silenced - the death of your husbands was out-and-out murder, and so far beyond the pale that it still barely computes (to me, at least), even though we all intellectually know now what happened. I grapple sometimes with not knowing how exactly Anne went. What does a myocardial infarction actually entail on a micro level, you know? I shudder to think what coping mechanisms you've had to implement to bear the same thoughts. I'm so glad you found each other, and I hope many other survivors of that day, of these years, have been fortunate enough to do the same. Keep moving forwards - it's the only direction there is. Thanks for being my beacon tonight. I appreciate it no end. All the best for the rest of your lives. Philippa

I have read this book over and over again and it will always remain my favorite. I am a cancer survivor and my very amazing friends who have never left my side have felt priviliged to use the sign off phrase at the end of every phone call, e-mail or letter..Love You Mean It... because there is no way to ever express how much you feel when you never know the last time you will see each other again. With another anniversary looming it my wish that the world never forgets. My love again to these beautiful women and their families and always " The Boys". Cathy

Thinking of you today.

Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayer.

Know that all the lives lost will not be forgotten.

God Bless America.
