Remembering

On September 11, 2001 I lived in New York. I also worked at a hospital with the nation's largest burn center. Direct victims were brought there, and only 2 went home, severely scarred. For over a year after the attack New Yorkers heard daily reports of more recovery on the local news. The smell in the air for about a month was vile. I remember wiping soot off my window sills for several months. I lived on the Upper East Side, which is 5 miles from Ground Zero.




This day affected so many people in different ways, and you didn't have to live nearby for your heart to ache.
