It was a terrible day to say the least, my mother called me at work(I worked in a building with no tv’s or radios) she was crying and screaming get to a tv now a plane went into the towers.

I did not have a clue about what she was talking about,so I asked a friend to go and turn the radio on and yes it was true a plane went in tower 1 and then shortly another went into tower2. Now I knew what she was crying about, my half brother worked on the 82nd floor of tower 2, at the time we did not know if he was at work or not.

I left work to go home, my mother was partially blind and she was standing in front of the tv crying and screaming and my youngest son was next to her and he had no clue what was going on.

Today, July 28th 2009 my son finally understands what happened on that day and he now wears the sweatshirt and tshirts that I made with great pride. My youngest son who is now 11 came to me and cried and said 2457 people died mom, why?

I cannot give him an answer since I do not have one to give, all I can tell him is that things happen in this world that we will never understand, we just have to leanr to tolerate and educate ourselves to make sure we do not discriminate against others who are not like us.

I do not think my youngest is able to understand that his Uncle died that day and that he son who was born in Dec of 2001 will never know his Dad, he can only be told of his dad and see the pictures that were taken before he was taken from us. My sister in law still has not moved on, I think it is time for her to learn to live again and to love again, her husband is not coming back.

His remains are still at ground zero, we do have a problem with that, many are still there and have not been recovered so in all reality she can never really bury her husband. I do understand her nightmare.

My son will be able to understand about his Uncle one day soon I hope but for now we will discuss what he has learned today.
