I'LL HEAL IN TIME
Jillian Suarez's story is one she says she doesn't want to tell with tears. Jillian's father, a New York City police officer, didn't come home on 9/11 and for three months her mother held out hope he would be found alive - until she received a call that his remains had been found. Now 18 years old, Jillian rarely speaks about her loss. For this piece, she decided to push through her silence to sit down with some of the closest people in her life, including her mom, to talk about her father's death and what his absence has meant to her.
