    I didn’t intentionally plan to fly on this day. I didn’t intentionally plan to fly on this day. I still feel the palpable fear of 9/11 all those years ago. I was walking to work in Midtown Manhattan marveling the beautiful and bright blue sky of that day. I heard people chatting about a plane flying into one of the towers and brushed it off as something so ridiculous. It wasn’t until I got off the floor of my office that I realized it wasn’t ridiculous, but it actually happened and another plane hit the other tower. Friends, loved ones, colleagues lost…. The city was never the same and our world was never the same. I remember the frantic calls to try to track down my brother to make sure he was safe and not being able to get through. I remember the terrible client who called to try to put in a trade so he could profit from this tragedy. I remember the quiet and empty streets that once were bustling. I remember not riding the subway for several years. I remember huddling in my brother’s apartment wondering what the hell just happened that evening. I remember all the American flags in cabs and cars as well as the flag pins we wore on our lapels. I remember the security guard at my office taking the logo plate off our building because it looked like a government logo. I remember the fear that gripped us for a long time and made us treat those who didn’t look like us with great injustice. I remember the brave women and men who ran to help. I remember all those we lost and how we collectively mourned. I still have not been able to go the site even after all these decades later because there is a part of me that wants to forget that time. But I remember. Always.
