Never Forget!
Nothing else to say…
I remember every moment of the fateful day (and the months after)– the way the air smelled and stung my eyes; the way NYers everywhere were in “help” mode, but couldn’t figure out how or where to do it; The way we were in a collective state of anxiety. The feelings of loss and uncertainty. And the welcome kindness of strangers.
