Yesterday, 9/11 was my oldest grandson's birthday and he turned 10.
As he gets older and in school Alex has questions about 9/11. He came to me and said Nana why was I born on a bad day. I sat him down explained to him it's not bad day he was born but bad people did horrible things hurting thousands of people and their families. I kept it short best possible, saying its good he is learning about that day in history now and why it's a Remembrance Day.
His mom took cupcakes, candy, chips, and soda to school for him celebrate his birthday with his classmates. My daughter Ashley Alex mom was called to school, because Alex would not participate in his own party as he was in corner crying, he told his mom there is a lot of kids who don't have parents and why should he have parents that make sure he loved and not missing him grow up.
After little talk with his mom, he joined in on his party. When was time the grandkids got off bus I hid, and I heard Alex ask his mom when I will see Nana again. He came to his bedroom to play his PlayStation, waited until he turned it on for noise I eased out from closet up behind him started tapping him on his shoulder. He turned around crying giving a long hug, and we talked for a bit played a game together.
I cherish all my grandkids, and this birthday I will remember.
