With the ten year anniversary of 9/11 fast approaching, I find myself thinking back to the day the towers fell with astonishing frequency. At times, it’s hard to believe just how much my life has changed over the course of the last decade (writing for The Evening Sun certainly wasn’t on my mind at the time). Add to that the number of people I’ve interviewed over the past week for our hometown daily’s coverage of the event (Julian and I tackled the “man on the street” interviews for Friday’s edition), and I guess it should come as no surprise that my thoughts have been turning back to September 11 lately.

It’s unreal, sometimes, just how deep an event like 9/11 can ingrain itself upon one’s mind. As for me, I must admit, it’s a strange feeling. Some days 9/11 seems as if it was a lifetime ago ... others it’s as if it happened just last week.
