We visited Ground Zero just one week after the 10 year anniversary ceremony & you could still feel the emotion in the air.


It has been 5 years since I last was at the site of the old WTC buildings and much has changed. Gone are the tarps, the blackened bricks of the buildings adjacent and the barricades into the ground zero site. In its place are open, warm & welcoming gardens with beautiful tributes to the ones that passed.

I have to say, it was one of the most emotional things I've seen. The memorial is lovely, not morbid or depressing in the least. But you can't help but get overwhelmed by the scale of loss & impact on the community as you sit there in the site. Especially when you see people trying to find the name of their loved one on the murals.

Can't wait for the Freedom Tower to stand tall. It is half way done & is looking gorgeous!
