Staying Friends
When Michael A. Trinidad and Monique Ferrer divorced three years ago, they stayed friends. Ms. Ferrer got the custody of their two children, Thea, then 7, and Timothy, then 6, and it was understood that the children were "theirs" ‹ not "his" or "hers."

Every other Friday, Mr. Trinidad would come to pick up the children for the weekend. "He was like a big kid," Ms. Ferrer said. "He would take them to the park, play ball games, call them silly names and just act silly." The three also went apple picking in upstate New York and sun-bathing on the Jersey Shore.

After the first plane hit the trade center on Sept. 11, Mr. Trinidad, 33, who was working in telecommunications accounting for Cantor Fitzgerald, called Ms. Ferrer to say goodbye. " 'What goodbye?' I asked him. 'Are you going anywhere?' " Ms. Ferrer recalled asking him, unaware of the disaster.

" 'I love you, and I love the kids,' he said. 'I am not going to make it out.' Then he asked to talk to my husband," Ms. Ferrer said. "Michael asked my husband to be his children's father and love them for him."

Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry and was terribly sad when I heard Michael died. I worked with him at Dreyfus/Mellon Corp for 3 years and we got along well. He always talked about his family and his little dog and I wished him well when he left the company to go work at The World Trade Center. Michael was a good guy and he and a few other friends who I knew who died on 9/11 will nver be forgotten. RIP Michael, we will always remember you and all th other souls we lost on that terrible day.

It´s been 24 years since this horrible day I´m sure Mr.Trinidad is so proud of his kids especially his daughter zelina she´s an amazing wrestler & he´s always in her heart no matter what R.I.P. Michael

Today it has been 22 years since that day happened, may he rest well in paradise, i know he would've been proud of what his daughter has become on the world of professional wrestling.

Nearly 22 years later and I can still see the number on the caller ID, and me saying "Why is he calling me so early?" Then I would pick up phone to hear you say "Good morning sunshine" laughing. On 9/11 you called I didn´t pick up the phone it was exactly 8:52 am to be exact. A day and time I will always regret not picking up, but I wanted to hear what you were gonna say. I hope you tell me in my dreams someday, Till then R.I.P. always. I´m glad I did say Yes and meet for lunch at the chinese...

Wow 20 years seems like yesterday. Your daughter is grown up and beautiful. Never forget when you would come to WTC picking up pagers, you always said you wanted to work here. We will never forget ❤

I can not believe, your gone & we won't ever be able to have a drinks in Da Bronx, & talk about our lives & families...... This was an awful thing to happen, but I know your looking down on your...

Twenty years after, I am reading the story of Micheal Trinidad, How Tragic. My. thoughts and prayers for his family as well as for the families of the others that lost their life on that day. will continue through my lifetime.

Sending our deepest sincere condolences to your family. There are no words that can ever change the events of so many years ago but please know that others do care about your loss. Michael touched the lives of others and will always be dearly missed. May God continue to give the help needed everyday. Finally may these violent acts that have caused so much sorrow for so many end for all time.

Never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Trinidad but I will never forget him or any of the others who lost their lives on that tragic Tuesday morning.
