What have they done? My home, the city where I was born and raised, exists no more. I will return, but what will there be there? How will the people I know and love, the town I adore, have changed forever? I can only guess, and offer my support for those who were impacted the worst by this. Both the city and country I call my home will not be the same for my children as they were for me growing up. We have lost not just so many loved ones, but some crucial parts of our way of life as well.

Working together, we can rebuild the city's financial district. Other scars may never heal.
