September 11, 2001


My son Tyler is 12.  He was 5 months old on 9-11.  Monday he asks if he can ask me a few questions for his social science class. I say sure.  So he reads from this sheet of paper, talk about where you were and what you were doing when you found out that the World Trade Center was hit.  And I am blown away.  9-11 seems like yesterday, not history that my son is learning about in middle school.  So I tell him i was just sitting down to watch tv when the news broke in saying a plane had hit the tower and that I saw the second plane hit.  I also had to explain how i felt about what had happened and if i thought the US was safer now.  It was a very emotional experience sitting there telling my children about what happened and how i felt.  I hope those of you who have kids can sit down with them and talk to them about how you felt that day.  I personally think its important that they know.

I for one, will never forget.

God Bless

I can't believe I did this...but they did impress me last night.

(there is also the fact that on unemployment one cannot afford medication that is needed and one tends to do strange things now and then)
