Thank you Emily for your beautiful post. I'm not a New Yorker, but I'm a
granddaughter of Italian immigrants who brought their 9 children into this
world and made a new life there. I have photos of my Mom with her younger
brothers and sisters in front of that old brownstone where they lived.
My husband fishes every weekend off of Sandy Hook in NJ and said to me last
night it was the first time he saw clearly the gaping black hole to which
those towers once stood. Know that New Jersey hears you man. We can't undo
what's been done, but let's not lose our hope for the future. To new
beginnings...
Rose in NJ
