Despite my proximity to the event, and how it affected my family, I have virtually no memory of it. It's possible my brain blocked it out to avoid trauma, which is apparently a thing. Sometimes I wish I remembered, because the memories of my cousin seem to have been blocked out with it.
Shit.
My condolences to you and your family.
Every New Yorker has a similar story. My friend who lived around the corner from me's dad died. Another friend's sister died. Everybody knew somebody who was hurt or killed... or at the very least directly involved.
