Neil was my upstairs neighbor. He was a good man. Whenever I am reminded of that terrible day, I always wonder if, for just that one day while hearing him come downstairs at 6:30 a.m., I could've just grabbed him and said that today he was going to be late for work whether he liked it or not -- for no reason. But, alas, I am neither psychic nor spontaneously crazy.
Every year on Sept. 11, I contemplate at his memorial outside our building in Hoboken. He is the human connection I have to the event, thinking about how he was only just going to work.
