I find it therapeutic to sort of read/hear stories of people's memories of that day. Mine aren't much of anything, but they can illustrate a loss of innocence to a degree. I was 10 years old, in the 5th grade. They, probably rightfully so, told us nothing. However, we were ticked because outdoor recess was cancelled, and many of us jealous as dozens of classmates were picked up early from school. Thinking back, there was never more parents waiting for their kids at the bus-stop, and never more hugs. God bless you parents from that day...I can't imagine having to handle such a situation with young children. My mom had to explain to her 10 year old what terrorism was. That had to simply be awful. I also remember being worried about my dad, and convincing myself that the plane that crashed in Somerset was bound for Pittsburgh. So I rode my bike outside my house for an hour waiting for him to get home.
