It took a long time

Shortly after 9-11, I visited the devastated area but never returned. I just wasn't able; too much pain. I finally returned this Sunday because we were visiting Eataly and I naturally became enthralled with the area. So much has changed; so many new buildings. However, I wasn't able to visit the memorial.
Maybe next time.

. Nevertheless, I was not able to go to the memorial. Maybe next time.
