Feel like i was born there...
You have no idea how i feel about NYC. Even though i was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, i feel a huge love for NYC... My parents lived in NJ for 2 years but came back to Buenos Aires way before i was born. The stories they told me about every time they went to NY turned me into a fan of your city. Finally on April 2001, i had the chance to go to New York, my best trip ever, a dream come true. NYC turned out to be way more beautiful and amazing than what i had imagined. I fell in love with it! So i also had the chance to go to the WTC, and was lucky to experience the feeling of watching over NYC... wow... i was speechless... i still am. On 09/11 i couldn't believe my eyes... i felt so sad, so anguished...i felt like one of you. Now that i saw your pics my heart started beating faster... my eyes filled... i really miss NYC. Thanx for sharing those pics with us and God bless your Friend. Im looking forward to coming back to NYC soon. Ana from Buenos Aires.

I think it is so sad that people could do this to others and not even feel bad about.The day that it happend i was so sad for the people in the buildings and the people in the plains i hope there families recover from this and to tell them that i am praying for them.when i look at the pics of the people jumping out it makes me so sick and sad i was looking at the pics closly and i saw that the people were all ready for work not nowing that day might of been there last.I saw the people in the windows that made want to cry.

i was sitting in school when it happened and the teacher got a call from the office to turn on the news. i thought i was dreaming, i also wish i was dreaming. how some one could ever do this i will never know. but one thing is for sure and that is that we are americans and we must always stick together.

Good pics
I hope someday it will be somewhat like it was before. New York has always been a place I admired.

...and then I got to the picture of "Where there used to be a tower:(" I sat transfixed and realized that I was not breathing. This is the most powerful, most stunningly eloquent picture of all that I have seen in the last month.

Thank you for sharing your grief for your dear friend Steve Jacobson, the pain and hope of the children and your own very personal love for New York City with us, Michael.

I know that you've given so much to so many of us during this time. I pray that you have gotten at least that much back in spiritual peace and strength. You are a special guy, Michael.

Now beneath the hole in the sky...
like all, the souls shall lie. We are shattered like the glass itself. Tonight the moon shall not rise, and wind shall carry the souls away. Everytime I read those amazing words, tears fill my eyes. I want to thank you so much, Michael for adding more of the children's drawings and their thoughts. They are words so pure, words of hope, inspiration and healing. I can only wish for you to receive in return the same compassion, caring, love and mercy you are giving to those you are helping during this difficult time. You are my hero as are the amazing people of NYC! May you always feel the embrace of love and peace!

Beautiful Memorial
Thank you for sharing such personal and beautiful images, they are a moving tribute to the heart and soul of NYC. As my friend has said, I was baptised as a New Yorker during the week following the horrific day of 9.11.01 I stand up proudly as a honorary New Yorker and your memorial instills that honor. Thanks!!

As a fellow New Yorker, I appreciate ALL of your efforts and courage in sharing these photos. Your memorial to Steve Jacobson was beautiful; I do remember his being mentioned in the news recently. God bless America!
