New York: Before & After

-
So. The other week we went to New York City for a little while. I've been there a few times, it's always a lot of fun, although I much prefer Chicago or San Francisco or mmmmm, Boston. Sadly, on this trip, we did not get to take a Pedicab.

This was my first time to go close to Ground Zero and it was still shocking. It's basically an empty hole surrounded by tall buildings and you wonder how just one small portion could totally disappear and leave everything else standing like normal? How can so many lives be so totally destroyed while so many other lives remain unscathed? And as we stood at the top of the Empire State Building, I realized the Twin Towers were in view the last time we went up there and looked out. See? Above Tommy's knee. Isn't that the Twin Towers?

And see now, what 15 years later?, in Eva's photo below, no Twin Towers.

And then, of course, the other shocking thing is how fast time has flown and how much the kids have grown. You gotta enjoy every single minute. Love life! Live everyday like it's a Friday! blah, blah and all that.
