September 11, 2019,

you've been asked this question before if you're over 35, "where were you that morning?"

Today is that day of reflection.  anyone who is older than ~34 -36 will have something to say about the 9/11 tragedy that befell America.  We remember what we ate, wore, where we were...who we were with...

It's crazy to remember something so vividly from so long ago when sometimes we don't remember what we ate for dinner the other night.

September 11, 2001 is that day.  Terror hit us between the arterial valves, and it still grabs us. 

It was a day of irony, too.  It started out being a gorgeous, blue sky, hot September Tuesday.  It was business as usual for many.  some still were making their way into work, still holding their hot cup of java.

some people's breakfast sat untouched, uneaten  on their desks even after the planes struck the buildings.

who would expect that?

There were passengers from other planes that left the city that morning aS a few caught a glimpse of the skyline with the proud twins standing at the South end of Manhattan.

Nine. Eleven.

September 11th.

Eighteen years ago today.

Our twins crumbled to the ground with our hearts in our throats.

Oh no...
