Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My 15 year old daughter, Ehryn had spent the night at a friends house Monday the 10th, 2001. At 7 am on the 11th she called me and woke me up and said. "Mom, someone is bombing the World Trade Center and the Pentagon!" I got up and turned on the TV and did not leave it for 2 days. When my daughter came home from school, she was quite upset as they had a television on all day in all her classes and she watched the WTCs go doen over and over again. That night she asked me to sleep with her and I am a single mom, so we spent that night together talking and the next 2 nights after that. We remember how quiet the skies were, and Ehryn asked me some very difficult questions over the next few days: Mom, are we going to bomb Afganistan? Who are their allies? Are China and Russia friendly with Afganistan? Do they have nuclear bombs? Why did this happen? What I told her those first few days was that I did not have the answers but that I would stay with her and keep her safe. What I also did was to start talking to her about my feelings about US foreign policy in the Middle East, and about Peace. This is where we are today: we both see any further violence as a cycle that will be hard to stop; and we truly feel that America, through this tragedy, has been given an incredible oppurtunity to make some deep changes that will effect the future of the world for all of humankind. We are from Connecticut and I was informed that my girl friend from high school in Madison Connecticut was a flight attendent on the plane that was seen hitting the second tower. Not a day goes by that we do not think about this horrible event and we have cried a lot of tears, for the lives lost.
