It's hard to believe that it's been 18 years. 18 years since life changed forever. I've talked about my experience on September 11, 2001 in past blog posts (here and here)…and no matter how much time passes, that day is still so vivid in my memory.

If you haven't yet been to the September 11th memorial in New York, it's beautiful and is so worth the trip the next time you're in the city. I'm proud to have been a New Yorker for even a short part of my life. Despite the tragedy and loss the city suffered, the humanitarian and kindness of people afterwards is something I will never ever forget.
