Rachel Uchitel with photo of fiance on September 11
September 11 happened to all of us.
You remember, of course. The bitter, chaotic shock of that day. How, as a nation, we went silent first, then wept together in our streets and churches. The heavy atmosphere that lingered for months, even years after, until it slowly eroded in the wind of a new day that was not of our choosing.
Thousands of people—-people who represented 115 nations–went down in our towers and planes. It happened, and nothing will ever undo it.
Ten years later, I mourn as we all did that day——with family, with friends, with strangers. I offer my prayers, my compassion, and a hand to hold in the dark corridor of our shared memory.
We will never forget.
Where were you, dear readers?

 It is a spark to memory of what that person means to you, the experiences you have shared together, and what you hope lies in your future with them.
