[QUOTE="Khan the Warlord, post: 362565, member: 983"] I was stuck in Tennesse for my brother's stupid wedding on Sept. 10. My wife, parents, and my youngest daughter (Gabrielle) drove to my grandfather's home in Kentucky that night to rest for our trip back north to Ohio the next day. The next morning, we're spending quality time with my grandfather and one GRAND breakfast (a tradition of his), when we begin to hear blurbs on the TV in the living room about some "bombing" (soon after, we learned the truth). I'll never, ever, forget that ****ing day of loss. We quickly left London, Kentucky and listened to the news on the radio for the 200+ mile drive home. Once we got home, we watched the news on the television and did so for the next few months. Before I left my parents house for my own, I made sure they both knew just how much I love and care for them -- hell, I even got a kiss and hug from my invincible father out of the deal (who felt his mortality and ours and worried). When we finally got home to our quaint little house, I put my daughter to bed, made love to my wife as if it were the last time, and talked to her until sleep took her. Then, I decided to go into my daughter's room and just WATCH her sleep for what must have been an hour or so. I finally broke down, retrieved her from her crib, and just HELD her. I carried her to the coach, continued watching the news, and began to cry, wondering how I could have brought her into this world with it being the way it is. I finally fell to sleep around 5 am, with my angel sleeping soundly on my chest. The saddest part of it all on my end (and no lie): My angel, Gabrielle, watched the entire footage before we did and we unwittingly subjugated her young and fragile mind to the constant replays of the event -- to this day, she screams and cries whenever an airplanes flies overhead and she can either see/hear it. I honestly had no clue, nor even gave it a thought, that my sweet daughter could have perceived and remembered what happened to this day, let alone be scared as Hell of it happening again -- she wasn't even 2 when it happened.
