we each remember
where we were
who we were with
it was breakfast
with a grandson
he in the high chair
me watching tv
stunned
numb
suddenly
realizing
this little tike
was watching
it all
one could say
he was too young
to remember
to remember
not so
he remembers
people running
big buildings
falling down
airplanes
fire
years later
his words
" . . . not flying in an airplane, they burn with fire . . ."
subtle fears
such a young child
changed innocence
not fair
very sad

Our DIL was still pregnant with our dear grandson on September 11, 2001. I distinctly remember feeling frightened for him. This year I took him to a 9/11 lecture/slide show at the museum and it was the first time that he realized it was passenger planes and not military planes that hit the WTC. He was shocked.
I'll be back. donna
