Sad

You know something.. I grew up in the New York City area (LI) and was in junior high when those towers were constructed. I remember them going up and how it was a big deal that they were taller than the Empire State building. I never had the opportunity to go up in them to the top, but I did go up the Empire State building as a kid, before the towers, and I always thought that NYC from that altitude was a grand site. It has been 2 and a half months now and I still can not look at pictures of NYC with out them. I guess I'm in some sort of denial, I mean, I know it happened, but part of me still does not want to face reality and looking at the rubble and the NYC skyline will be that reality. I'm not sure what that shock will do to me. My heart and prayers go out to my fellow NYers, Jenny Lee, Croiter, Ed Jr (yeah, I know, NJ but close enough, you can see the skyline!) and anyone else I'm missing. I may be from WV now, but NYers are the BEST!!!
