236: Hannah jumped into the lake
Sometimes it can be pretty amazing how one small decision
can have a huge impact.
Mike Jaffe knows about that.
Mike was usually on his way to work in the morning when his
wife, Sabrina, woke up their one year old daughter. He was also on his way home
from work when Sabrina was putting her to bed.
But one Monday morning, he decided that the next day,
Tuesday, he would go in to work late so that they could all have breakfast
together.
On Tuesday morning, he was having second thoughts. This job
was important to him. But he decided to stick to the plan, and they had a nice
family breakfast together that morning.
That breakfast saved Mike’s life.
He worked on the 96th floor of the World Trade
Center’s north tower, and that Tuesday morning breakfast was September 11,
2001. Hundreds of his colleagues were already at work and did not survive.
My guest today is Hannah. She was driving one day over a
small bridge, on her way to meet someone, and just by chance looked over at the
water below.
That quick glance ended up having a life-changing impact.
