Yeah, it was very stressful. Especially since they blocked us from News reports at school. We couldn't get any information, so we had no idea how many were killed. Our Principal was AWFUL. My dad didn't get home until very late that night. My mom worked late, and my older siblings were both away at college. So it was just me and my little brother when we got home, and had no idea if our dad made it out. Couldn't get a hold of him either. My older brother called to ask if dad had checked in with us, and he hadn't. (My sister had no idea he worked at the pentagon).
The woman I used to babysit for who died, I still think about her sometimes. Her kids. Wonder what they're doing. I've visited the memorial a couple of times. Haven't recently, just don't have the time. I'm sure 9/11 is very tough for them.
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
