Hello, I thought i would share this with you.

My Wife and i visited New York in March this Year, a lifelong ambition. Yes we did all the tourist things and sites but the main aim was to visit the 9/11 memorial site and museum.

We arrived at WTC, it was a lovely bright Sunday morning, and we headed straight to the Memorial pools, no particular area just straight to the 1st Plaque that we came to.

The very 1st name we saw was David Lee Pruim... the name stuck in our heads as we looked at other names as we walked round both pools.

We then headed into the Memorial Museum and eventually arrived at the "quiet" room where all thousands of  names were portrayed onto the walls.

Which of course was very moving.

As soon as we entered the room, we both looked up and David Lee Pruim was the 1st name that we saw displayed, we both looked at each other and we a little bit taken aback how unbelievable it seemed.

When we got outside, I decided to Google David, and was amazed that his Birthday was 24 th March..... that day !!

We felt a connection with him and will always remember his name, it was a surreal moment, too many things to be coincidental, it was a proper magical moment.

We wish all his family and friends our love and best wishes.

R.I.P David
