Sharing a 'wish' from Heather Ho
"I wish," she wrote. "I wish I could have anything for dinner ... I wish I were God, so I could make no wars and fighting and make everything perfect." So wrote a 12-year-old Heather Ho of Honolulu, who would go on to become a critically acclaimed pastry chef at Windows on the World restaurant in the World Trade Center, and to die in an "unofficial" war, the U.S. war against terrorism.
Ho is among Windows employees whose last hours are documented in the December issue of Talk magazine.
Her poem, "I wish," is included in coverage of her memorial service in Honolulu. It is poignant and painful, as is so much of the story of the famed restaurant's employees and the friends and family who survived them.
