September 10-11, 2005 In remembrance of September 11, 2001 and Hurricane Katrina refugees/victims ... As we commemorate the four year anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks on New York and Washington D.C., it is also important to keep all those still reeling from the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina in our thoughts as well. In what has become an annual tribute on this site, the poem below is posted to commemorate the September 11th anniversary. But, may it also serve as a tribute to Katrina refugees/victims. Some of you may already be familiar with the poem from years past; others might be reading it for the first time. Please take a moment to remember 9/11, and to continue to help those still suffering in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. ----- "How My Life Has Changed" A poem by Hillary North (An employee of the AON Corporation, which lost 176 people on September 11, 2001. Former Office Location: 103rd Floor, South Tower, World Trade Center, New York City) I can no longer flirt with Lou. I can no longer dance with Myra. I can no longer eat brownies with Suzanne Y. I can no longer meet the deadline with Mark. I can no longer talk to George about his daughter. I can no longer drink coffee with Rich. I can no longer make a good impression on Chris. I can no longer smile at Paul L. I can no longer confide in Lisa. I can no longer work on a project with Donna R. I can no longer get to know Yolanda. I can no longer call the client with Nick. I can no longer contribute to Karen's book drive. I can no longer hang out with Millie. I can no longer give career advice to Suzanne P. I can no longer laugh with Donna G. I can no longer watch Mary Ellen cut through the bull, and no longer drink beer with Paul B. I can no longer have a meeting with Dave W. I can no longer leave a message with Andrea. I can no longer gossip with Anna. I can no longer run into Dave P. at the vending machine. I can no longer call Steve about my computer. I can no longer compliment Lorenzo. I can no longer hear Herman's voice. I can no longer trade voice mails with Norman. I can no longer ride the elevator with Barbara. I can no longer say hello to Steven every morning. I can no longer see the incredible view from the 103rd floor of the South Tower. I can no longer take my life for granted. ----- || "I don't know what’s happened. It's like everything stopped. I could always sort of picture tomorrow – top to bottom. Now, I can't even picture the next five minutes – not even a glimpse." - Mary Follet (Annabeth), A Death in the Family. ||
