Posted — UpdatedJaime Amoroso has been a widow for two decades. Her husband, Christopher, worked for Port Authority Police in New York City. The couple had been married just shy of two years and shared a baby girl when Chris lost his life.
Jaime recalls the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, as a beautiful day. However, she cannot forget her conversation with Chris that morning as her husband got ready for work at a job that he loved.
As soon she heard about the attack on the towers, Jaime sensed that something had happened to Chris.
“Last known photo of my dad’s cousin before going back into the North Tower,” Baird tweeted. “R.I.P Chris Amoroso #NYPD #TrueHero”
Over the years, Jaime wondered what happened to the woman.
“That woman Officer Amoroso is seen helping in this photo is my mother, Suman Dhamija. My mother has severe asthma so after running down the stairs of the 2nd tower and with all the debris and smoke in the air, she could not breathe,” her son wrote. “Officer Amoroso helped lift her up and walk away from the towers.”
“Officer Amoroso got her to safety, then went back to help others,” the post continued. “My mother says that she never got a chance to thank him for saving her life. Every 9/11, we light candles for her as we celebrate her 2nd birth, thanks to this brave soul.”
“Did he seem scared?” Jaime asked Dhamija.
Jaime reassured her that she was glad her husband did his job that day so Dhamija could be with her family.
Dhamija wanted Jaime to know that, “she had such a wonderful husband and that I’m alive because of him.”
