EXTRA CREDIT-- NPR

I listened to Monique Ferrer who was the ex-wife of a 911 victim. she tells the reporter about how her and Michael Trinidad met and about their two children. On the September 11, Monique remembers receiving a call from Michael. He stated that he just wanted to call for the last time; he told her that he has always loved her and asked Monique's husband if he can be his children's father. Her husband assured Michael that he was going to make it back home. Monique remembers crying hysterically and forcing her self to stay clam for the sake of her daughter. The day Michael past away is still remembered and she says that she would never forget him because their children resemble him in every way. She also tells the reporter that she has lost her best friend and love him always.

Her story brought me to tears, but reminds me that you will never be forgotten; that a persons' memory lives on in his or her generation!
