Anniversary of 9/11

So much sadness.  Especially today.
The 8th anniversary of the demise of the World Trade Center.  I remember stopping there on my way to see the sights of NYC about 10 years ago. 

What an imposing structure.  I remember beautiful fountains in the courtyard and gleaming steel and glass as far up as the eye could see.  There was a Marriott Hotel next to the towers (also destroyed) & flowers all around. Quite beautiful. Like Suzy.

Of course not in the same way.  Suzy led a happy, healthy, protected life.  She had everything a pup could want---and more.  She was loved from the moment we met 'til the moment we parted.  She was adored and cherished, and she knew it and reciprocated her love back to me.

Not so with the trade center.  It was taken viciously and hastily.  With aggression and anger.  Our beautiful landmark was destroyed with vengence and malice.  Ignorance and stupidity.  For no reason that made any sense.  Now it's gone.

And, so is Suzy. 

My heart aches for both.
