Seven years

Can you believe it's been seven years since 9/11?

For whatever reason, I've been thinking about 9/11 more this year than I did the past few anniversaries. Perhaps it's because it is becoming clearer just how much the country and our world have changed since then.

The more distance I get from those early days, the harder it is for me to comprehend that those things really happened. It's just astounding to look at those buildings and those airplanes and imagine what happened to the people inside them, followed by what's happened to all of us.

It's like that day was the beginning of a horrible nightmare that hasn't ended.
