This September 11th, I went downtown to see the Memorial site and to remember those who fell on that tragic final day of the World Trade Center.
Although this is the 13th anniversary of 9/11, this was my first time going there. In fact, except for one day last week, this was my first time in this area since the towers fell. I didn't have any family members or friends who were involved in the tragedy but, just the same, I had strong emotions about it and, after 9/11 happened, I found myself starting to avoid this part of the city. It was not a conscious decision to purposely stay away, more like other areas around Manhattan had suddenly became much more interesting to me. The longer I stayed away, the easier it became not to return.
As I look back on it now, I think that by staying away from, and not seeing, the 9/11 site, I didn't have to think about it or deal with the emotions or feelings it brought out. I knew, of course, that it really happened but, if I never saw it, it didn't really seem like something that had happened right here in my home town. Avoidance is not a good thing though, and I'm glad I finally got over it and was able to come to terms with the horrible events of that day. Now, I'd like to visit downtown again sometime soon. I feel like I've been missing so much. It's good to be back!
Sorry that the commentary for this shot seemed to ramble on so much. If you made it this far, thank you so much for your time.
noticing... sunshine through the window, lingering in bed with coffee and a book, flocks of geese, monarchs, processing life with my sister, the pride he had in his first soccer game and goal, the taste of homemade pizza and surprise guests.

You know when you put clothes on a cat and they turn into a limp pile of rags, fall over and can't move from the absolute horror of wearing clothes? That's John right now.
I think if you nudge him he'd just collapse. BUT HE'S SO FLUFFY!!
