911DA Story: Story
I run a small daycare so my husband new that I probably had the Disney channel on and didn't know what was happening. He called and told me to turn it over to a regular channel. All I could do when I saw what was happening was sit on my living room floor, hold my 9 month old daughter and cry. My God, this is America - these things don't happen here! Even though I was safe in my small Iowa town, in the confines of my own home I felt so vulnerable.
The mother's of the other two children I watch called, knowing that their kids were fine, but just needed to be reconfirmed of that fact and to hear their small voices.
Today, September 11, 2002 - I feel a strange emptiness that can't be explained. I didn't know any of the victims, but I have shed many tears today.
One more thought - PLEASE hug your children every day and let them know how special they are to you.
