Today, it is only about remembering all those we lost, both here and abroad, and their family and friends.
My cousin used to live in a loft on Duane St., just a few blocks north of the WTC. He watched it all unfold on the roof of his loft. Interesting, I had just spent a week at his Catskills ‘second home’ just south of Woodstock the week prior. Luckily, he was able to talk a cop into allowing him to cross the bridge and leave Manhattan to go to his Catskills home a day or so later. In general, and oddly, they weren’t letting anyone leave Manhattan at the time. Talking to him about that day is chilling.
