OMG I'm hysterically crying. Thank god everything is okay, how traumatic for him to go through that. Are you ready to tell your DS? He is old enough to understand IMO...My niece is only 6 and understands everything that happened with her uncle that dayChat Icon

Thank you for posting your experience. It brought tears to my eyes. I don't think anyone will forget. I remember everything that day just like how my grandma would talk about Pearl Harbor and my grandpa having to go there.

Again thank you for sharing

Thank you again for sharing your story. Your words still bring about the same vivid pictures and images as well as evoke the same tears and sorrow, like they did in the years past.

ummm holy tears here!! after reading that! wow!!!

such a truly touching story. i can't believe you wrote about us not reading it.. i couldn't stop reading it. i had to see the outcome.

such a crazy day in history. it's just immeasurable to anything else.

I'm from glendale as well.

my old BF was a firefighter in the city at the time... and he was missing for a good while, thankfully he turned up alive. i was worried. His brother was fdny ems and his "bus" was used as a morgue vehicle. he was finding parts of his friends bodies (while searching for his missing brother). so so so sad.

This is the first time I read your story. As I feed my newborn, I am in complete tears reading this. Your family is truly blessed. Only you will know if your son is mature enough to read your story. Chat Icon

I always come to try and find your story. I just read it again and cried. It's weird..but reading your story helps me feel somewhat better around this time.

I think you should definitely tell your son your story...hope all goes well

That was an amazing story. I am sitting here sobbing my eyes out! beautiful.

I think you should definitely share that with your son. I dont have a child that age, but I think it's powerful and something he should know and you know if your son can handle it.

Absolutely beautiful...Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Your story gives me chills, you are so blessed for it turning out the way it did. If you believe in your heart it's time to tell your son then it is.

Your story is incredible
Best of luck in telling your son - although only 9 1/2 he can probably handle more than you think and will always remember your story. Some of my students said they were upset that their parents never told them what had happened that day so I think you are doing the right thing.Chat Icon

I had tears in my eyes reading this! God bless you and your family!! My sister's daughter is 9 years old this year..and I remember going to her house that night she didn't want me to be alone that night she was pregnantand I wasn't married yet! My parents were coming home from a trip and we were nervous because we didn't hear from them at first than they called and walked through my sisters door at1 am that morning! Now if my sister decides to tell her that is up to her..Again your story was very moving I cried reading it!
