Sept. 15 Nobody I knew was killed. But my girlfriend's cousin's best friend lost her mother, and that tiniest of connections was enough to make all of those losses terribly real. I find that it is easier for me to write about the loss of the buildings than the loss of the people. I don't really have the words.
"Missing" posters on the street in Greenwich Village. They were all over town for many days. The rain soon made many of them illegible.
