Obituary
Send FlowersForever Seeking a Reunion
Mostly he was not there. Not when she turned 15. Or when she graduated from high school. To Kirsy Concepcion, growing up in the Dominican Republic, her father, Jaime, was little more than a voice on a long-distance call promising that she and her two sisters would join him in New York someday.
Finally, last July, Miss Concepcion, 21, flew to New York, visa in hand. The man whose voice she knew by heart met her at the airport. They got to his apartment in Washington Heights after 3:30 a.m., time for him to head to his job as receiving clerk at Windows on the World. "I really didn't know what he liked or what he didn't like," Miss Concepcion said. "But he kept saying it was a mistake to have left us."
Immigrant life in New York was not easy for Mr. Concepcion, 46. He worked in restaurant kitchens and saved his money. Over the years, he met another woman and started a second family. But he kept promising they would be together. "He'd say, `If it takes till the day I die you are going to come to New York,' " recalled Virginia Concepcion, Kirsy's older sister.
After all those years apart, Kirsy Concepcion had just two months with her father, but she will never forget a single moment of them. Her sister Mercedes had a few weeks longer. But Virginia Concepcion's visa was not approved until November. Phone calls and photographs are all she has.

This Anniversary of September 11th I chose your name as my World Trade Center victim memorial. I rode my motorcycle to Washington DC in memorial and labeled your name on the windshield where it remains. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

When the Twin Towers were destroyed I was a high school counselor in Poulsbo, WA. Names of the missing were given to students/staff at school so we could be specific in our prayers. I have had Jaime Concepcion's name on my refrigerator since that day. I continue to pray for his family.
