Like many of you I will never forget that day – it was and still is absolutely unbelievable.
I didn’t know anyone directly involved but I was very much affected by the events. I still find it extremely hard to watch footage of the attacks without getting tearful. Those images are so hard to forget

I have some photos of the NY skyline taken on my one and only visit in 1997 – the twin towers shining magnificently in the autumn sunshine – I often get my album out just to look at these particular pics
Would love to go back to NY one day and visit ground zero to pay my respects and remember

We went to Florida shortly after 9/11 and the public grief mixed with fervent patriotism was an unreal experience. On the fifth anniversary my thoughts and prayers are still very much with all those involved on that terrible day [grouphug]
