I do not know why, but it happened very often-the plane clear over your head disscended or taken off. But I agree with you- the date become passed us by. I only remembered in the evening because it was a big commotion on our local drive 614 road: at first I thought it was a big accident, because of the dozen police cars with all lighting, then I understoodd that a lot of people were visiting our local memorial place because of 9/11 and the buses with visitors were parked along the road. The next day I have read your blog and a little bit cried when I listened music and watched all these tragical pictures. Very sad. But: why this (and other histories tragedies) did not teach world by anything?

I will, however, humbly submit my own: From 2002, when it was all still raw, and a year later, when it inspired song lyrics.

This year, it inspired different lyrics.

You’re right – it gets easier every year. I’m still waiting for the day when I don’t notice the date when I wake up in the morning. I’m not sure that’s possible if you’re in New York City every day.
