I remember visiting NYC when I was about 14, and not being terribly imrpessed, except for the WTC. It was just cool, just the sheer size of it, and how it reminded me of a giraffe. Spindly from far away, but immensely massive up close. In my head, I don't want to overwrite that memory of two skinny, insanely tall buildings humming with human energy. I want that to remain in my mind without being overwritten by a giant empty hole. I know what the NYC skyline is supposed to look like, and I want to keep that image on my eyes and in my mind.

Very moving. I think a lot of people feel as you do, that their story is insignificant compared to those of the people that were more personally impacted by the events of that day. However, I don't believe that any of us were unchanged by what happened. All of us have a story of some kind, and they are all significant to each of us. Thank you for sharing yours. Wow, Jenn.
