The disbelief, the horror, the grief! I was teaching 1st grade and children came in telling me a plane had hit a building in NY. I told them, it was sad about the pilot because it must have been a small plane. Within the next hour, I would learn the truth.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2347493753441352036.post-28010298307967113332014-09-17T20:35:17.540-04:002014-09-17T20:35:17.540-04:00All of us remember 9/11, no matter which part of t...All of us remember 9/11, no matter which part of the world we were in.

He suggested we take a tour of NYC (he always wanted to see the towers, as seen on Friends). I imagined it with my brood (then 1,3,5, and 7) and said, "No, it's not like they're going anywhere." <br /><br />Elizabeth Seckmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045076826326574984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2347493753441352036.post-90882664115988951842014-09-11T13:11:13.294-04:002014-09-11T13:11:13.294-04:009/11 red into the memory but we must never forget ...9/11 red into the memory but we must never forget the future.
