While the girls were eating their oatmeal this morning Sophia asked me whose anniversary it was today. I wasn't sure if i heard her right so I asked her what did she mean? She said on TV last night they were talking about it being someones anniversary today. Then it hits me, 9/11.
I ran downstairs and found a picture i took in 00' of a view of the Twin Towers from Ellis Island. I sat her down and told her the story. She started to cry a little and asked where I was when it happened. I told her I was asleep in my dorm room at CU. My radio alarm when off on 93.3 and the first thing I heard DJ Nerf say was "it's hit, the 2nd tower has been hit!" I ran and turned on the tv to see the destruction that occurred.
She asked if I knew anyone there, I told her that I had a friend who lost his Dad there that day. She shook her head and said "Mommy how can there be so much bad in the world?" I kissed her forehead and said "Sweat pea, there might be bad but the good is what got NY and the US back on it's feet after it happened. The good is standing in front of me right now.It's people like you mamas, the ones with big hearts, who are born to help make the world better." She gave me a bear hug, a kiss and said "with a mommy like you how could I not have a big heart?" Dang kid made me cry!
