Five Years

A friend of mine sent this picture and the accompanying note that I thought what she wrote punctuated the feeling of five years since 9/11:

I'm in NYC and just sent a pic to your phone...walking along 49th St. I came upon a crowd of firefighters - gathered outside St. Patrick's for a service for families of the firefighters killed on 9/11. And right next to it the image that really struck me - the display windows at Saks 5th Ave have been emptied and are all done in black. The only thing you see is a message in white letters: In Remembrance 9.11.01 - 9.11.06.

Weird how such a little thing would have such an impact. It was as if Saks was saying that the world was going to stop again for just a moment, just as it did 5 years ago.
