On 9/11, just three minutes before United Airlines Flight 175 struck the South Tower, passenger Brian Sweeney called his wife Julie one last time.
“Jules, this is Brian. Listen, I’m on an airplane that’s been hijacked. If things don’t go well, and it’s not looking good, I just want you to know I absolutely love you. I want you to do good, go have good times. Same to my parents and everybody, and I just totally love you, and I’ll see you when you get there.”
Julie missed the call while teaching her high school class that morning. She only heard his final message when she returned home and learned he was gone.
A husband’s last words. A love that endures forever. We remember.
