...it's not even about "where were you when". It is about where I could have been. Less than a year before 9/11/03 I might have been going to a work meeting nearby. A few months later, the afterschool program where I worked could recruit enough one-on-one tutors for the 300+ children and youth they served every year. Professionals were not willing to make the commute after work.

The missing towers were like phantom limbs. They were my view to work every day and I could see them in my mind as if they still existed for several months. I lived in New Jersey and wondered what I would have done to get to work. I was angry at our government because I had a feeling that they could have prevented the attack. I haven't been closer than 2 miles of the site of the attack since a week before and don't know when I will return.
