Shay Mahon is one of approximately 10,000 kids who lost a parent to this tragedy.
Shay Mahon and her father Tom.Shay and many children who’ve experienced losses similar to hers have tried to heal with the help of [Tuesday’s Children] , a recovery organization that provides support to families, friends, and community members who were affected by the terrorist attack orchestrated by [al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.]
Though she’s learned a lot about 9/11 in school and has visited the memorial, Shay doesn’t want to investigate exactly what happened to her dad or watch videos of that day. "I’d rather just know that he’s happy in heaven.” Anniversaries like this one are hard on anyone who was affected by 9/11, Shirley says of the 15-year mark. Shay echoes this sentiment. As the years pass and more anniversaries come and go, it just gets harder, she says.
