Heavy heart this morning. Asked Michael to share with our daughter where he was on 9/11 (he had been at Commodities on First Avenue in the East Village and was walking down the street). This was around a month before our first date and just a few days after I had kayaked around the Statue of Liberty marveling and photographing the downtown skyline. That morning, I had just returned from the gym and walked into my crappy single girl ground floor apartment when my friends, coworkers and brother called. Fast forward decades and lifetimes, living and working in NYC we have generations of friends and family, including a few who now live in Vermont, whose lives were permanently changed. The events and aftermath of 9/11 will forever take my breath away.
