I think of the towers everyday. The skyline is my screensaver on my phone. It was always my favorite when we were driving into Brooklyn on the Verrazano. I don't live in NY but all my family does.
I went there for the first time in three years in August. My mom said "See that open space? That's where the towers used to be". I tried not to cry. I couldn't believe that they were gone and the whole time we were there, everytime we went over the bridge or highway where I'd normally see it, I just stared at the open space.
My cousin pointed out the dump site on Staten Island when we drove by. Tears came to my eyes when I saw that too. I couldn't believe how much there was and how much of it is probably still human remains.
Honestly, I can't think of 9-11 or the towers without getting tears in my eyes.
