where were you...

when the world stopped turning?

do you remember that song?
you know...the one that talks about September 11th...
the one that says "were you teaching a class full of innocent children...?"

it gets me every time.

because i was a teaching a class full of innocent children...
because i found out the day before 9/11 that i was pregnant with jaden...
because what they did to us, what they took from us that day can NEVER be forgotten..

it breaks my heart that i can't discuss it in my classroom (the students are too young)...
...that i can't talk to my daughter about it (so that she'll really understands it) until she's older...
...that it really happened, and i watched the whole thing with my own eyes


i will never forget
