Even though I see it, hear it and walk around it every day, it often escapes me that I have a front row seat to the aftermath of the most horrific day to date.
Ground Zero, 9/11 and all things related have become a part of my life in a way that is difficult to describe. But I'm very glad they have. Its quite an experience - and a quite a view. Especially today (see above).
I received an email from Chris this morning that I thought I'd share a piece of:
[I'm missing you today something fierce.
I was very sad and emo during the moments of silence at 8:46 and 9:03. It was the first time since we've moved in that it really hit home where we live, what we look at, and what I photograph everyday.
Standing there in the window, I could literally hear the silence outside and a solitary, ringing bell indicating the exact moment when the planes hit. It crushed me. All at once I was overwhelmed with the understanding that almost 3,000 people died 8 years ago right in front of our apartment and hearing the surviving family members read the names of their lost loved ones on the TV behind me made me miss you severely.]
