Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who does. It was only the next year when Oklahoma City happened, and people... forgot. They forgot more after 9/11.
My dad barely talked on the way home from school. I didn't know what was going on, but I knew something was wrong. We drove around a lot (we were already on Staten Island at this time) and found a cheap gift shop, where I bought the ugliest panda/cat figurine. Still have it.
Apparently, my mom was going to meet up with him for lunch at the WTC. But they didn't. And afterwards they put up those god-awful ugly concrete planters everywhere. Like that'd disguise the fact that they were a wall to keep cars away. Didn't do any good, did it?
