In a Facebook post in 2015, Chris shared his experience when his mom survived the terrible incident of 9/11.
Chris was in an Economics class at Archbishop Molloy High School when his teacher came in and said, “Boys plane just hit the World Trade Center.”
He knew that his mom worked either in the WTC or very close. “I was 17, so an even bigger idiot than I am now,” he said.
After hearing the news, he immediately started crying. His friend and classmate named John Gichuru, comforted him while other students looked at him confused.
“It was an all-boys Catholic High School, so breaking down crying in the middle of class was hard for everyone else to see,” he explained.
Chris’ teacher excused him from class and he wandered around the hallways trying to call his mom.
Unfortunately, his cell phone wasn’t working, and moreover, the librarian saw him and told him both towers had collapsed.
“I was now convinced My Mom was gone,” he said. Then Brother Regis took him to the library with other students who were upset.
Regis told him no matter what happened, his mother was safe. That comforted him, even though for a short time.
Chris struggled to believe in faith and tried calling his aunt Eileen. His aunt also worked in Brooklyn, and he knew she was safe.
All his other aunts and family members called Eileen and let them know they were safe, except his mother.
As the minutes and hours went on, he went through a range of emotions. He left school and went home. He opened the door wanting to just jump in his mom’s bed and smell her scent one last time.
But when Chris did, she was standing right there. At first, he believed she was a ghost and genuinely thought he was seeing her spirit.
When he accepted that it was her and she had survived, he hugged and kissed her like she never had before. She had blood on her knee because she fell off the bus in Brooklyn. “But that’s my Mom,” he stated.
