9/11

There are some events that remain as emotional upon reflection no matter how many years pass.  9/11.  I was in the city that day, I watched the towers fall in front of my eyes with the strangers around me on Fifth Ave and 23rd Street as we all cried and hugged each other.  I watched the thousands of people walking uptown in a daze covered in dust.  I rollerbladed to Tom's office to see if he was ok and to tell him I was ok since we could not reach each other by phone.  I remember it as if it was yesterday.  Every year, I watch the television coverage and cry no matter how many times I view the same program.  I think about the magnitude of what that day was for our country and our lives.  No words can truly describe the emotion.
