On that day our firstborn daughter who was nine months old took her first steps unassisted. My grandmother was there to see it, she was visiting from another state. It was at a new home we had just built.

And then we heard the news of John Kennedy's assassination. Something died inside of me that day.

It was as devastating as 911. I was young. Presidents didn't get killed.
