Jack Grandcolas met Lauren Catuzzi in college. “I just remember looking into her eyes and seeing the most beautiful eyes I'd ever seen,” Jack says. “The sparks hit instantly. It was one of those wow moments.” 

The couple wed and tried for a decade to have a baby. On Sept. 6, 2001, Lauren flew from California to attend her grandmother’s funeral in New Jersey and tell her family some good news: she and Jack were expecting. On Sept. 11, she arrived at Newark's airport far enough in advance to get an earlier return flight home on United 93. 

In the premiere of the “Hears How” podcast, Jack shares the depths of his grief and how he was able to find love again.
