Overview

September 11, 2001 was a tragic moment in America's history that will always be edged in the minds of not only Americans but people across the world. Some of those who have been effected by September 11 are our children who lost parents and friends in this hideous act. In Saying Goodbye to Daddy - Kia, an eight year old girl whose father was killed while he took a group of his students to receive an award at the Trade Center, shares humorous and touching memories of her father. At eight years old, Kia learns that she will never be able to have the relationship with her father as she did before September 11. She comes to the realization that saying goodbye to someone you love who has died doesn't mean you are forgetting them.

Kia discovers that love is the bridge that keeps us connected to our love ones forever.
