We were living in Hampton, VA, at the time and I was at home alone; the kids must have been in school. I was excited, had been doing my housework within earshot of the TV, waiting for a cue telling me to stop and sit down to see the take-off. An hour afterward, I could have phoned someone, but I knew not to do that to anyone or to myself. There are some truths so unreasoningly horrible, our minds don't ask us to make them one iota more real just yet. I love that our brains try to take care of us that way...trying to give the living just a little more time--and space. That moment!
