As I live in New Jersey and work in New York I have come across
literally dozens of people who have lost someone in the past several
days. One of the more upsetting ocurrences in the past three days
happened to my husband.

Many of our neighbors are Middle Eastern and we haven't seen them out
and about since Tuesday morning. Bill (my husband) finally saw our
upstairs neighbor and asked after his family. Although his immediate
family was okay a close friend of theirs had called them from the WTC
before the building collapsed and he is presumed dead. What was so
upsetting to my husband and me (beyond the obvious) is our neighbor
looked surprised when Bill asked how he was doing, and amazed that
anyone cared (we aren't Middle Eastern).

Please, even if you don't know your neighbors take the time to say
hello and ask after them, you may be the first person to do so.

I hope and pray that everyone you know is safe; if you have lost
someone know that prayers of strength and caring are with you.
