THE COST OF 9/11

I watched, horrified, from my living room window as the towers fell that day, but oddly enough, I did not know a single person who was there, much less anyone who died.

Sure, I know people who lost friends. But it was still kind of once removed.

Now I've met someone who escaped from the North Tower, but lost his wife in the South Tower. By reading this. You should meet him, too.
