While the passage of time has diminished the impact, having lived through it in Manhattan, it will never be forgotten yet I must admit that were it not for the appropriate reminders, such as the first responder caps worn by coaches the night before during the Giants game, it's possible I might have lost sight of the approaching anniversary, especially as I live alone in the middle of nowhere now, but then on Monday when one of my closest friends posted to Facebook his memories of the day including running into me and my then wife and still mother of my children (who sent me the post as I'm not on Facebook) at dinner that night...and how from his apartment he heard the whistling of a descending jet that had no business descending there...and then many other memories of mine float back...
