I was sleeping on the couch at my dad and step mom's house and first a friend of the family came running throught he living room to my parents bedroom door crying. Of course my dad was at work and my sister at school, so I just though she had a problem with her boyfriend. Well moments later my brother comes running through the same door and wakes me up by turning on the television. I see the news on and I couldn't make it out on what was going on. I didn't want to panic b/c I was 6 months pregnant. Well I went into my parents bedroom and had my step mother explain to me what was going on and had her explain to me the situation. From that day on I have watched every update about Asma Bin Laden and his training camps. I have to do a lot of paying attention but it was a learning experience. Watching episodes of the families that struggle now b/c of lost loved ones is really touching. I kept the newspaper for my daughter so she can have an idea and know what when on this day that she be remembered as a Holiday.
