Today is the 6th Anniversary of September 11th. I didn't want the day to go by without acknowledging the significance that day has for so many people, around the world. I remember that day very well, and exactly how I found out, how I felt, who I called. To this day, I don't know if there was anyone I knew who lost their life. Having studied in NY state, I am sure many of my old classmates from my university days, worked in NYC. But I didn't keep in touch with many of them and so I will never really know of their fate. A close friend was working in a neighbouring building at the time and I recall him telling me about the events of the day. Through "six degrees of seperation", there is another man who I know died that day. September 11th, affected so many people, in so many different ways. For the weeks after that tragedy, the world seemed like a smaller place. Loved ones were held more closely, calls were made to friends we hadn't heard from in a while. The world changed. I know that I look at life a little differently now....and I am a better person for it. My thoughts go out to everyone affected.
