Today was a very weird day to be in NYC. The 15th anniversary of one of the most tragic days in NYC history. Caitlin and I went to Brooklyn Bridge Park to see the lights they put up in Manhattan in memory of all those who lost there lives before taking the subway to the 9/11 memorial pools. This was a very different experience than I when I went the first time. The first time was an ordinary summers day and felt like it meant so much more. Roses and photos were over those who lost there lives names. Tonight it felt a lot more like a memorial and less like a tourist attraction. People weren't taking selfies with the pools and view in the background, they were reading what family members and loved ones had written in memory of those that they lost.
