At the request of my mother I have decided to finally begin writing in my blog again after a not-so-brief break...
My new job is near city hall and when I exited the C train at Chambers street this morning it was strange to look back and see the gaping hole that still remains in lower Manhattan. If I had been there at that exact time seven years ago I would have seen a plane fly over my head and crash into the WTC (I was a little late for work today;), I would have been evacuated from my office and seen huge clouds of debris pushing through the streets... a pretty scary thought. I said good morning to a woman in my office and she said "no, not this morning." I didn't go to the site today because I feel so far removed from what happened and there are so many around me that would like to forget but cannot. Despite the books, pictures, videos, reports and even the gaping hole, it is still quite unbelievable to me.

Thanks for starting again. Dad hung the flag out yesterday and I wore my New York sweatshirt. I don't think we will ever forget that day and neither will New York. I am grateful we were there on either end of the attack. Love you, mom
I guess it's hard to truly comprehend how the people who were so close to the attack feel. I can't imagine the horror that was that day, seven years ago, and the pain it has caused so many people. Even now, like you said, it is still so unbelievable.
