Yup, I was just talking about it with my daughter as I drove her to school today. It happened right about the time I was standing up at the school bus stop with her, sending her to Kindergarten, and now she's in junior high. Doesn't seem that long ago.
I came back from the bus stop just in time to see the second plane fly into the tower, and experience the incredulous reaction from the news anchor - who was it? "This isn't an accident!"
I just realized, after I dropped her off this morning, that the college students I'll be sitting in class with today were 11-12 when it happened. My daughter's age.
I'm not sure what that means to me yet; I think it's important, though. Maybe something about life going on, or maybe the college kids having grown up in a world we older folks always hoped was a temporary concern.
May our children live in peace.
