What Kids Think

As we near yet another anniversary of September 11th,
I am reminded of something MoMo said a few weeks after.

Gena's sister was dying of cancer--yes, 2001 was another bad year for us.
MoMo was 6 and we decided that we would see Aunt Susie dying.
Gena had taken the lead on this.
I think she knew that one day MoMo would have to watch her die.

MoMo wasn't very close to Aunt Susie.
She did spend time with her at the end.

The day sfter Susie died, I was tucking Maureen into bed.
As I leaned over to kiss her goodnight she suddenly sat up and started to cry.

"If Aunt Susie is dead, and the bad guys from the airplane are dead. Can they hurt Aunt Susie?"
