"Pretty good! "
Colby Fitzsimmons
"A read aloud with my youngest son. I read this several years ago with my older children. It doesn't matter how often I read about this, how often I seek to understand it, I never will, and a terrible sadness fills my soul at the senseless loss of life. I can remember everything about that day. For my children, it's still such an abstract concept. They were too young to understand or they weren't even born yet. It's history to them, but to people like me who watched it happen, it's still just as raw of an experience as ever.<br/><br/>My little guy is still trying to understand. He asked if we could look up videos on YouTube, so we did, and we both sat their crying as we watched them. There is no explaining something so awful as this, ad anything like it (war, bombs, etc.). There is no explaining mass destruction or turning people into weapons."
