I had been in a trainging program in TX and my Husband was in Hawaii. Luckily I had taken my kiddo with me and left her in my mothers care...once finding out about the horrible day's events. I rushed to a payphone and asked my mom to take my daughter out of school. She did so immediately!! Previously I had been stressed out about having pulled out of of her old school back home, but I was happy that I had done so--because I was able to get someone to her. That would not have been possible if she has stayed with my hubsand. Oddly enough (my child is now 16)and just last year she said- "Mom you NEVER told me ALL about 9/11"-- I was taken back..living on a military base she'd not been fully exposed to the detailed--I just assumed she knew it all. She didn't know about the planes at the Pentagon or in the fields of PA. She said she was stunned when she heard about it in school. It was not my intent not to tell her--It just never came up. She was so young when it happened-CINNIBONBONhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12074109632970180290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704303276146513809.post-39645051531205449132009-09-14T12:16:05.338-07:002009-09-14T12:16:05.338-07:00Absolutely.

A young man who was only married a year. My son decided to join the military that day and wears a uniform in memory of Morty. We now know the meaning of a "Living Nightmare". It is a scab on our hearts that gets pulled off every 911. I can't even bring myself to post about it.<br>JoyceJoycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14023307609205834495noreply@blogger.com
