I remember that day so well. My son was just a little over a month old. I just held him and cried. I think it hit me so hard not only because of my newborn but everything else that goes hand in hand with it: sleep deprivation, post partum, etc. I was a hormonal mess.
Remember the news coverage? Everyone was so frantic, overwhelmed, and overcome with emotion. You couldn't watch the coverage without someone on the screen getting teary-eyed.
Watching all those screaming, crying and dazed children....I was just speechless. I couldn't imagine what their parents were going through. I was just thankful I was able to hold my little one. Some of those parents never got the chance to do that again.
