Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Mornings are hectic in my household. Getting my son out the door for school can be a trial. He is not a morning person. As usual, we were eating and watching GMA. As the news broke out, all we were doing was watching GMA with our mouths open. The first words to break the silence were my son's, "Did you see that, Mom? What kind of nut-ball would fly a huge plane into a building to kill people?" As the news spread and the second plane hit, I tried my best to describe the nut-balls to my 7 year-old son. Still stunned, we retreated to school and work. I had just parked in front of my work when the Pentagon was hit. Once inside, radios and TVs were on and everyone was abuzz. I was very impressed at the elementary school's handling the news to the children. By dinner, my son still referring the terrorists as nut-balls; understanding a whole lot more than he did earlier that morning. Little league baseball games were not cancelled and were a welcomed break from the news of the day. We watched CNN everyday after that for weeks, and eventually resumed our everyday rituals. Here it is, 9-11-02, one year later, and once again, we are glued to the TVs for remembrance, and Little League baseball is tonight at 7:45pm, God willing. May peace and my blessings reach all who have been touched by this tragedy. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
