The world as we knew it changed forever. Seeing the videos/news reports from that day bring back the memories like it was yesterday. Emma noticed the flag was "Down" today and asked me why...so I explained it to her. How do you explain what happened that day with out scaring your child to death? I can see Miss Emma never wanting to be on a plane again? Or now going to school and telling her class mates about it...but we must inform our young children so we don't have to relive the past.
Her view on it after we told her how many people died was "they are lucky because they are in heaven with Jesus" But we had to explain how yes Em that is a good thing but it is REALLY sad too, because all of these people lost their love ones.
8 years ago I was 4 months pregnant with Emma. Never did I imagine the child I was carrying that day would touch as many lives as she has in her 8 years. Never did I imagine in 8 short years my baby would be on her second round of Chemotherapy. That the PR people at our hospital would fall in love with "Hospital Emma". And all the wonderful stories she has to tell them. My oldest Allie who was a kindergartner that day who so innocently asked "How did they get to fly the plane mom? Did they just say 'Excuse Me can I please fly the plane?' would have her own non-profit organization by now. How much 8 years can change your life...and though you may find it hard to believe our lives are better for all we have been through.
I will finish with saying God Bless all of you who lost you loved ones that day....
