In May 2001 I took a trip to my hometown of New York with two of my
closest friends. One of them took this picture of the World Trade
Center:
My friend that took this picture has since passed away after a
long battle with cancer. I remember joking around and saying to her
that we were so lucky to be on vacation having fun and partying away,
and just think of all of the people inside of those buildings working
away and shuffling papers around and
gossiping by the water cooler. And then, only 4 months later while
those same people were working in those buildings, and I was watching
the news while ironing my pants for work, the unthinkable happened. I
just wanted to share this picture and also a memory that I had when on
vacation with my dearest friend in New York City who has since left this
earth.
It’s so important to cherish and appreciate the ones
you have now, because you never know when a perforation can occur,
causing a painful collapse.

ReplyDeletegreat picture and post sweet pea.words to live by.cherish and appreciate the ones you have now.i remember that day like it was yesterday.i thought of posting something but as i told you i pretty much said all i could say about it in those kitty blogs.on a positive note you did get to spend that time with your friend and you got to have one last glimpse at those towers.though it doesn’t erase what happened and the effect that it has had on humanity, i would say that is priceless for ones own soul.

Thanks babe. It’s sometimes easy to forget how easily things can change and take people for granted. As always you speak words of wisdom right into my heart.
