The aftermath of my life after 9/11, when half my family died. How I am struggling to come back to the self my mother used to love and be proud of while still letting myself grow.

Second Verse, Same As the First
Mommy,
Really, why bother going to college? This nanny thing is so easy.
I cannot imagine what you've been through but your being here today means there are a lot of people who will draw strength from your experience and the strength you showed ever since 9/11.
When you do things that seem natural to you (like being a nanny) it seems easy and you might want to relax in it. But you have the whole world ahead of you and so much difference to make because of who you are. Like "The Contessa" said, don't give up on the college path. Even Momma will tell you that.
If you ever feel like talking (to someone you don't know but cares about you and you can trust), do send me your phone number to my email address esurunma@gmail.com. I will call you.

Hi Sam, I've been reading your blog for awhile now.
The nanny thing is easy now, but don't give up the college path. You are very smart and bright young lady.
The nanny gig isn't always going to be as easy as this is now.
I enjoy your posts. You are a stong and sensitive writer. You impress me a great deal.
Stay strong...
I'm sure you're joking, Sam. :)College is fantastic, even though being a nanny is easy and fun.
