You just don't ever experience anything like the massive tornado that went right through the heart of the city and not pause to reflect a little each anniversary. It killed our friends and family, shattered dreams, and quite frankly took a little part of our souls with it.
However, we rebuilt, it brought us closer together, and in sports inspired some amazing championships.
So please allow us to reminisce a little and hug our loved ones little tighter, especially as we close on the 5 o'clock hour. We'll worry about things like the NFL Draft tomorrow.
If interested, here's a column I did on the tornado, and a feature on the aftermath. Here's hoping you never have to go through something similar, and that we all never have to again.
