Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was unusual that we would have the news on in the morning since my two and half year old son normally watches cartoons. I would have been at the high school teaching, but with the birth of my other son just one month before it allowed for me to be at home on maternity leave. My husband and I prepared for the day as I flipped to watch the morning news programs. I turned to the Today show and the first plan had just hit. Like others, I thought of this as a horrible accident and wondered how a plane could have been that low or off course. Moments later, the second plane hit and I knew that something strange was happening. My husband had to leave for work and I had this sickening feeling that I just couldn't explain. I worried about him, but hoped that our little town would be safe. We talked throughout the day so that he could stay updated. I left the news on all day and just could not believe as one frightening thing happened after another. We went for a walk that evening just to get away from the news and maybe the world for a little while. Shortly after this life changing day, our two and a half year old began waking up at night scared of the airplanes outside his window (we live 5 mins. from the Dayton International Airport). I guess it just shows us how much everyone was affected by this day. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
