I took this picture of 6-year-old Marlee before I walked her to school that morning. We were really late, because I couldn't pull myself away from the news on TV. It was so unreal. All I did was watch the news, flipping back & forth between stations, for weeks.
I remember how a kind of depression seemed to settle in after the shock had worn off. But I also remember never feeling such intense patriotism before in my whole life.
I can't believe it's been ten years.
Sometimes it seems like it was just yesterday. But then at the same time, it's hard to remember that blissfully naive pre-9/11 world. So much has changed.
Marlee's changed a little too. :)
That was EXACTLY what I did too--watched the news channels for weeks! And then that depression too.
ReplyDeleteMy son was 22 months old, now 2 months shy of 12, yet I again have a baby (13 months) and I probably cried just as hard today watching as I did 10 years ago. The children of survivors have been so prominent this year and it's been so very sad to watch.
