Reflecting and remembering the tragedy that happened 8 yrs ago. Sept 10, 2001 we were innocent. (we just didn't know it then) Our lives were changed forever. Thoughts and prayers out to all who lost loved ones. May the lost rest in peace. Also contemplating all the senseless loss of life that followed this event. I saw the 2nd plane when I was leaving my D's school. I watched the towers burn & fall. I still feel a dull ache in my chest when I see the city skyline minus these towers, it will always look surreal and empty to me. To this day I don't hear a plane, see a low flying plane, or any emergency vehicle without cringing. I'm keeping a space of remembrence for those I knew who where in the towers. A good time to tell loved ones what they mean to you. I am proud to be a New Yorker. Proud to be American. Blessed to have family & friends. Grateful to be alive. Sending love.
