September 11, 2001…it’s been 21 years and the terror and heartache that goes with that day in history still gives me goose bumps. Memorials have been built and a day of remembrance yearly to give tribute to those lost, the fire fighters and NYC police officers that put their lives on the line and the indi vidual citizens that did what they could to as sist.

A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like. "We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods." The little girl was wide-eyed, tak ing this all in. At last she said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!”…later
