“About a half hour ago. I called Mrs. Douglas and asked if she could pick you up. I couldn’t go out like this. Sweetie I’m sorry I took you out of school. I just I needed you here with me. I needed to make sure you were safe. I can’t risk the possibility of losing you too.â€?
“But you don’t know if he died mom. He could still be out there maybe; maybe he’s in the hospital right now and their taking care of him. Yeah he’s alive mom. He’s going to come home and everything is going to be ok.â€?
“Sweetie there would have to be a miracle to make him be alive. There’s no chance. Look I’m sorry Jeremy.â€?
“But mom you don’t know that.â€?
“Sweetie look.â€? She turned the TV on with the remote. On the screen, I saw the damaged that had been done. The plane was in the building. Smoke was everywhere. The building was collapsed.
“Why, why would someone do this mom?â€?“I don’t know Jerâ€? That was that. We sat there and just watched the TV. All those thoughts that were in my mind disappeared. Everything around me disappeared.
