We Will Never Forget!

Six months after this tragedy, we competed in NYC. Only a few dancers and their mothers attended. Everything was still so raw. The hurt and the loss was everywhere. Fences covered with notes of loved ones still searching for family members. Many business, blocks away from the twin towers, with windows blown out and signs posted on doors stating they were closed because their customers were gone. So much grief.

That was when I realized New York was my home too. An attack on one of us is an attack on all Americans. I will never forget!
