In the Rearview Mirror - 9/11

by Skip Cohen

​This is one of the shortest posts I've written, but the topic doesn't need a lot of words to make a point. For most of us, looking back on 9/11 is a vivid memory. We all remember where we were, what we were doing, and how we felt. The sadness borders on overwhelming.

For me, we were living in NJ at the time. Data shared a couple of months later suggested if you lived within an hour of NYC, there were no more than 2 degrees of separation between you and knowing somebody who lost family or friends in the tragedy. 

There's only one way I can look back at that time - a period of sitting in silence. I went outside a few minutes ago, just sat, and thought back to that day. The tagline we see and hear repeatedly regarding today is "Never Forget." How could we...nor should we.

Wishing you a day of peace and quiet reflection.
