On 9/11

Then

We were preparing for Sam’s 4th birthday. We bought him his first bike.

There was no Ben, yet.

Jen was job hunting

I was still ascending the ladder

We were renovating our new 19th century brownstone.

We weren’t at war

Many were blissfully and arrogantly complacent.

Now

We are preparing for Sam’s 25th birthday. We are fixing his car.

Ben is in college

Jen is selling homes

I am building homes

We are renovating our 19th century farmhouse

We are at war with ourselves

Many are still arrogantly, but maybe not so blissfully, complacent. #september11 #IDontForget
