I remember weeping on reading it a year or so after 9/11. I was 12 when Philippe dared the winds of a quarter mile up that day. Having a terror of hights, I couldn't even look at the news footage. But a year later, I was taken to the top, where the wind howled. By then, they didn't allow anyone within about 15 feet of the edge. "It'll pick you up and toss you over the side", the guide said. Mr. Petit's words here are filled with love. Thank you for letting me reread what's possibly the towers themselves' best tribute.
