Sept. 11

On Sept. 11, we keep hearing “Never Forget.” In all honesty, sometimes I try to forget. The truth is, I will never forget. I cannot forget the sound of my husband’s voice when he called me from his office at the World Trade Center, sounding out of breath like he had just run a marathon. “Could you turn on the TV? Something happened. We felt an explosion. The building shook and there’s debris falling.”

Today, let’s remember what life was like before 8:46 a.m. on Sept. 11, 2001 — the innocence, the sense of security we as a nation enjoyed up to that moment. A moment that changed everything, forever, in so many ways, great and small. Today, we remember. Let us never forget.
