"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love"- Washington Irving, 1783-1859

Another year and I'm brought back to those days working downtown in triage. Those things should never be part of a person's memory.
Do you still remember the smell, Omar? An indescribable mix of burnt ash, chemical and organic. It was just...wrong, but no escaping it. And it stayed, even after air started to clear, you were reminded of it on the train speeding past the closed Wall Street station. It was like it was there to burn it in to your memory over and over again. I can't purge that from my mind no matter how I try.

Wow Carol, you just asking me about the smell gave me a chill. For me it was a that smell mixed with the metallic smell of blood and disinfectant, it's enough to make you puke just thinking about. I've never been in combat, but I've seen some stuff.
I've still got clothes in a bag from the first day down there that I've not washed. It's in my storage unit.
