I know there have been other atrocities—many of them, and many resulting in far greater loss of life—but 9/11/01 will forever be the day that spawned the ugly voice that first whispered into my sheltered ear: “You are not safe.” Since then, each year, I wake up weeping on this anniversary, and automatically feel the loss all over again. I will never forget.
