Where were you?
Where were you?
I was in 5th grade. My teacher turned the news on and we didn’t do anything in class that day. At 10 years old we all understood that our country was under attack. One by one, all the kids were going home. I think it was just me and maybe 1-2 other kids in the class, same as the bus ride home. I get home, and my dad is sleeping on the couch. I woke him up and asked why he didn’t pick me up? He had been watching a war movie, and breaking news came on, HE THOUGHT IT WAS PART OF THE MOVIE and fell asleep!!!! Boy his reaction when he found out it was real. He grabbed his paint and a brush and went to work, tears in his eyes with every stroke. I wish I still had a photo of that mural. #neverforget
