Once Upon A Time...: Recent Episodes

Monica Iken

I went to bed a happily married newlywed and woke up the next day a widow. An early morning kiss, an I love you, and a see you tonight. We all knew where we were that day; it was a clear, blue cloudless sky, warm day... a hint that summer was not over. Yet in a New York City minute life would change forever. For myself, nothing would ever be the same. Today, we have a World Class Memorial and Museum to remember those lost on September 11th, 2001. How did it happen in the Heart of Manhattan? Let me tell that story. Yes, God made it happen and twenty years later, it is time to tell my story...or is it His story? Where do I begin? Once upon a time...
