In April of 2008, we received an email forward titled ” Meet Me in the Stairwell“. This email is inspiring to thousands of people around the world. It is a poem/letter written on behalf of God to help comfort those who survived 9 11. It is one of our more popular pages on Don’t Lose Faith.com.
Today I was wondering who the author was and if I could find out. After some extensive research, I found out this email origin. Stacey Randall from MetInTheStairwell.com is the original author of this very viral email. I also found out that somewhere along the line the original title “Met in the Stairwell” got changed to “Meet Me in the Stairwell”. (I guess it’s kind of like playing telephone with email forwards. You never know what it will end up like after thousands see it.)
She wrote this poem in 2001 after the tragedy of 9 11 hit. In 2002 a song by the title of “I was there” was composed, produced and released to radio stations across the US. You can buy a CD of this song from her website at http://metinthestairwell.com. Met in the Stairwell started out to be on her own family website, but has since traveled around the world via email and thousands of websites online.
This is a true testimony of the power of God. How one such writing could travel so far throughout the years since 9 11. We are here 8 years later and it is still a very popular email forward, along with being very popular to read online.
