Maybe I'm crazy but
this story made me really sad for these childrenand a little angry at the parents.
As a parent how could you possibly let your child stop celebrating their birthday so they could focus instead on death? That just doesn't make sense to me. no one is saying the attacks on 9-11 weren't terrible, but for a child to stop celebrating his/her birthday because of it???? that just doesn't seem to be the right answer at all.
ugh. i hate that fear and partriotism are so terribly confused in this country.
