Eight years is a long time. This year it snuck up on me. This last week has been a whirlwind, and I've written the wrong date all week. Then I looked at my watch this morning and saw it is the 4th.
Eight years ago yesterday, I thought that the fact that the 9/11 attacks happened 5 hours before I would have been at the WTC for a college fair was the closest I could ever come to losing.
Eight years ago today I learned that no one in invincible. I lost an acquaintance in an instant, and watched a friend's life tailspin in response for months. Eight years later and I still feel like someone just threw a bowling ball at my stomach when I think about that morning.
So CSF, just know you are in our thoughts. Even eight years later.
