I was in fifth grade in Queens NY that day. I remember teachers screaming and crying. The day was over and we were told to read. Parents taking kids out one by one with names being called over the speakers. I was excited when mines was called till I say my mother covered in Tower dust crying. 

This country was never the same after

She is fine. Just tons of test for years. It did lead to a skin thing for a while. I don't remember everything

I can only imagine the horrors and struggle that your mom has lived with, and also you. Nothing but an internet strangers sympathy.
