Today the sky is a brilliant blue, a far cry from that day ten years ago. I watched in horror as my second home, the city I had fallen in love with, who had bewitched me from the first day I laid eyes on it when I was fourteen, was torn apart by wind, rain, and negligence. I watched from afar, but many I love were here, or in the process of evacuating.
Things are still fragile here, no matter what you may see or hear from the politicians and media pundits: the city is, the land is, the people are. There is still a lot to be done, people to bring home, problems to be fixed.
But today, I want to say I love you, and wrap each and every one of you in a hug as the healing and work continues.
