My husband and I were in China, adopting our daughter. 9/11/01 is our "Gotcha Day". We didn't find out about the horrific attacks until the next morning in China, which was the evening of September 11 here. We were horrified, especially since we live in southwestern Pennsylvania, and the crash site of United Flight 93 was 45 minutes from our home. We spent an anxious few days in China wondering if we were going to be able to get home on time, but we did. Every year, it brings all those emotions back to me....in some ways, I feel like I never really grieved properly for what was done to our country, since I wasn't here. And as happy as that day was for our family, it's always shadowed by what happened to our country.
