I remember this day very well. I was a stay at home Mom, taking care of Hannah (she was only 11 Months). Turning on the television this day was a scary sight. I was glued to the TV all day, Calling Greg and Alisha as they worked to give them as many details I could. Hannah was so young, but understood something very sad was happening. She would wrap those arms around my neck, and I knew how lucky I was. I remember thinking how this could not be happening in America and just staying in a state of shock. I remember feeling so helpless.

I think I called everyone I knew and checked in on them.
It is hard to believe six years have passed~
