I was sitting in Tim Edins’ HTML formatting class my senior year of high school when we got the news.
Stupid me thought oh, that’s light years away from me and it doesn’t affect me. I didn’t understand as a kid why it did.
When I realized the impact that the twin towers falling would have, I was kind of numb to the emotion. Mom and I wrote a song. We had a special assembly at school at which I sang a depressing rendition of Sarah McLaughlan’s “I Will Remember You,” and I knew it was a big deal, but I was really more wrapped up in my own life.
