My Hero
Honoring Bobby is for our whole family, but for his two sons in particular. My older son was 19 months old, and I was 5 months pregnant with our second child (our second son) on 9/11. As the years go by, what may be easier now for those who were keenly aware of the pain and suffering at the time, has become more diffucult for my two sons. They are now learning about that day in more detail, and are more mature and developmentally able to understand the significance and horror of what happened. It's imperitive that they know the incredible person/father they have learned to call their Dad... a true hero.
