I Remember

0 comments Posted by debbie at 5:21 PM



9-11-01
Kaitlyn had started Kindegarten in Kopperl and Mike and I were getting ready for our very 1st Grandparents Day Lunch with our little first grand-daughter.
I remember having the "Today Show" on--then there was a news flash..
I remember seeing the Tower falling..
I remember seeing all the smoke and then the plane hit the other Tower..
I remember seeing the second Tower fall..
I remember seeing people running and crying...

I remember holding and hugging Madalyn, she was just a baby, I was watching her while Lindsay worked..
I remember picking Mike up and the drive to Kopperl...
I remember the radio playing and there were no songs...
I remember getting to Katys school, we were late cause the cafeteria lady I had called to see what time Katys lunch was gave me the wrong time...we checked in, were told to not mention the happenings of the morning to the children, no one wanted them to be scared the rest of the day till their parents picked them up and could talk to them about the day..
I remember walking into Katys computer class, she had had some tears, her little face was red, she thought we had forgot about Grandparents Day..
Mrs West let her go and have lunch with us and get our first Grandparents Day pic made together...
I remember her smile when she saw us walk into her class room...

I remember calling my children, my friends, my parents, my father in law..
I remember tv that night and all the people who had lost love ones, the signs made and placed everywheres...
I remember my prayer that night, to please keep my family, my children, my grand-daughters, my friends safe..to take care of people that had lost loved ones..for our nation to be whole again...
I remember flags..
I remember sports events that cancelled for the following weeks..
I remember no airplanes flying by for days..
I remember Pres.Bush face when told of the tradegy as he sat with a class of students...

I remember her face when she saw us walk into her class room..
Now, she is in 6th grade, half of her school life is now almost over, next will be JrHigh then HighSchool..
Ironic that Grandparents Day lunch was 9-11 again.. 6 yrs later.
I remember her face today when I walked into her lunch room..
