Hi Mrs. Shakita,
I also live in NYC and yes I also have a small child who asks lots of questions as well as family who worked on ground zero after the attacks. Following the attack on WTC we all found ourselves feeling frightened, worried, anxious not knowing exactly how we should deal with what had happened.
I promised myself that I would not live in fear and that I would continue living my life the way I always had prior to 9/11. So today is no different for me than any other day.
Do the things you always do, act upon your freedom. We will get through this.
Manon
