I totally get why you're down, Ben; this week has been an emotional train wreck for a lot of people. Allow me to add my voice to those who say that your writing has buoyed me through a lot of tough times over the last 25 years. So yes, the anniversary does matter to a lot of people, and even at that, you're still allowed your feelings both as an author, and as a human being.

Thank you for doing what you do, and my sincere wishes for your mental and physical health. You've still got stories to write, even if they don't want,to come out and play just now.
