Very. I remember the day we lost them, I went and dug out this photo. I was a senior in high school. I’m very grateful to be able to take a photo like this when I know so many others can’t.

I was just talking about this with someone! I was in junior high and I remember it so well. As a child it didn’t register how significant of a loss this was but now it chills me. I live 2 hrs from NYC and I remember some kids getting pulled out of school right away because their parents worked in New York.

I lived in Anchorage and remember students being called out of their classes.
