Yesterday morning I went to take my dog for our usual morning walk. It was cool, just like that day...and perfectly clear, just like that day.
I started crying, for those lost and for thei families, wondering how the children were doing...and all the long days since then..and offered a prayer. I never left the house for the rest of the day. I downloaded “No Easy Day” and read it cover to cover. Finished just before midnight. And thanked God for the men and women who dedicated their lives to the services that finally got that unspeakable bastard.
Sue,
I can tell you the story of one little boy affected by this horrific attack. His father was killed in one of the Tower collapses, and his mom who was pregnant with thier second son at the time, moved into our neighborhood to be close to her brother (ALL WONDERFUL PEOPLE).
“Joey” is friends with my son now, and a happy, well-adjusted teenager, who does VERY WELL in school, and has a great time playing with all the teen boys in the neighborhood!!
Thankfully, his mom had the means to secure all the necessary therapy and guidance to help young “Joey” adjust as best he could.
Like you I truly feel for the children, especially those without the means to get the help they desperately may need.
“Joey” is a GREAT young man and I’m certain his Dad is smiling down from Heaven, very proud that his family has been able to cope as well as they have.
Although I’m sure today is a God-Awful day for them :(
