My parents had moved to Texas (to be with my sister and her family) three years prior to 9/11. Thus, when my Mom visited NYC on her own in October 2002, she very much wanted to see the infamous Ground Zero Cross.

Right now, having happily rediscovered the photo above, I simply want to share a post of gratitude for being with my mother at that moment during one of her final visits to her hometown. It meant so much to her and it means so much to me now.
For those unfamiliar with the Ground Zero Cross, here’s a short video:
