Those who lived through the Madrid train bombings share their stories of survival--and look back in sadness and disbelief at the carnage. The 10 bombs that detonated within 16 minutes of each other on four Madrid commuter trains on March 11 left at least 201 people dead, more than 1,500 injured and images of suffering almost beyond description. Mónica Márquez Rodriguez, 17, is a student at the Colegio Virgen de Atocha in Madrid: I had been up really late studying for a test, and when I woke up Thursday, I thought I was going to be late for school. But when I got to the train station, I saw that the train I take every day was still there. Because I was late the train was really crowded and somebody was sitting in my favorite seat, so I sat toward the front, next to a window. I took out my science book and started studying. I was lying back with my eyes closed thinking about school when the window next to me exploded and sprayed glass all over me. The car filled with smoke and people were climbing over me, trying to get out the window. It was far to the ground and I was scared, but I jumped anyway. Outside people were all around me, running, stumbling, lots of them were bleeding from cuts in their heads and blood running out of their noses and eyes.

Alexa Smagala has the walking thing down pat. She's 16 months old now, and she's on to talking and making observations. One thing she likes to do is point at the photos of Stanley, the firefighter dad she never knew, in her Holbrook, New York, home. "Alexa's first word was Da-Da," says her proud mother, Dena, 33, whose husband died in the South Tower. Such bittersweet moments bind the estimated 100 women who were expecting babies when they lost their husbands in the attacks of September 11, 2001. More than a year later, much has changed in their lives, starting with the babies, who are now toddlers. As they watch their children grow, the mothers, too, are finding their footing, feeling their way in a new world. "Oddly, I've become a more joyful person," says Haven Fyfe, 32, mother of Jackson, 3, and Parker, almost 1. "I realize how precious life is. On Christmas I made a toast: 'Here's to my husband. I live my days doubly for you." Many still cannot think of dating. "My heart is open to my kids and nobody else," says Barbara Da Mota, 37, mother of two. For all these women, the children are a link with the men they loved--increasingly so, as small personalities blossom. The kids are proof that their fathers are not just photos in a frame--and that death does not have the last word.
