Love You Mean It

Love You Mean It is a true story of love, loss and friendship when the twin towers came down. I could so relate to the feelings of these four wives of the desolation of not saying ‘Goodbye' properly. I had also been able to talk to my nephew's wife who went through the same agony when she lost her husband in this horrific mass murder event.

The young wives who had all been married only a few years, became friends through acquaintances and mutual friends. Patti, Julia, Claudia and Ann suddenly on that day September 11th had their family lives ripped apart. But through this tragedy they, over the following years manage to pull each other through, by spending birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and other special days together, this is how they coped with what had befallen them.

It is not a black book with crying on every page but the bond of four wives who chose the nick name WC ie Wives Club, and what they do to get each other though their loss and then their battles with their situations.

This book is so well written and the title LOVE YOU MEAN IT became yet another set of initials that they used in all their emails to one another LUMI. I felt a terrific sense of warmth and fun come out of this horrific experience and a very positive approach to getting on with their tormented lives after that day.

I wish I could shake the hand of each one of them and thank them for putting into words what so many other men and women were feeling and yet have not been able to do even to this day.

I loved Love You Mean It and I would recommend it to anyone who suddenly looses their partner and feels that they are the only one who have making them feel so lonely and islolated.
