I live in Little Rock, Arkansas, far removed from the rubble. I was in college when this happened, and I still remember what I was doing when my friend burst into my dorm room and said, "We're under attack." This is the first time I've read a first-hand account, and I'm not entirely sure why. That day, and in the days that followed, only the fear of it all felt real. My friends and I went camping to get away from the TVs and the news that weekend, and I decided to become a vegetarian--as though that was the one thing I could do to make my mark. I am now pregnant with my first baby, and when I read about you thinking about how sad your parents would be, it made a pain in my heart that I've never experienced. I've been reading your blog for nearly a year now, and I'm glad you lived. I'm reading this post, seven years later, and I can hardly believe only six people before me have commented on this.
