As the kids get older, I feel like it is important for them to know the history of the events that have happened in my lifetime that will affect them in theirs. 9/11 happened right after Walter and I got married and things changed like we never imagined. To our kids, this is just the way it is, they don't know any different. They don't know that you use to be able to just walk onto the plane with out security checks. People use to feel safe. Life was easier. Now because the United States was under attack, life is how it is.
The kids have been to the 9/11 Memorial in NYC and have talked about the attacks in school and we have prayed for those affected.
Our town put on this memorial beside the Fire Department this year and the kids and I went to pay our respects after school. Walter didn't want his picture taken. He was very somber and read everything they had. Ann Elizabeth is very interested as well but wanted to leave her mark.
They prayed for all those involved before we left. It was a great moment.
