I think the most important thing that happened to us the whole time we were here was more recent ďż˝ 9/11 was really the day that stood in our minds. It was a catastrophe, even for the young kids ďż˝ I remember the concerns of the children. I think it kind of reflected how the parents felt. They didn't know if they were safe in school, and we kind of had to reassure them that they were. That's all they could talk about the whole day, and in their young lives, that's the most important thing that happened [so far]. We reassured them that they were going to be OK ďż˝ we kind of play the part of their moms while they're here with us. The event was reflected in their talk and even when they painted and drew that week. They drew tall buildings.
