I was in school for a couple hours by this point in the day. Some memories never go away.

I hadn’t even been at school yet since we were on the west coast. It all happened while I was getting ready to leave. I still had to go to school with all of these really, really big questions, and nobody had answers. Adults couldn’t tell me what was going on. I think that’s what terrified me the most, that the adults I looked up to “who knew everything” suddenly knew nothing. We were told to not talk about it. Eventually they sent us home but it was weird day. My childhood ended in 4th grade.
