Two families bond after child's death saves another

Pasadena, California (CNN) -- A tender smile frames the face of Eva Perez as she remembers the life of her 6-year old son.

"Hernan was a very happy boy," she says. "He gave me flowers all the time. He's the first 'man' (to) give me flowers."

But her smile is thinly veiled -- her face splintering into tears as she permits the raw truth to surface.

On Valentine's Day in 1999, Hernan suffered severe head trauma while sledding in the snow-covered mountains above the Los Angeles basin.

United We Stand: Septemeber 11, 2001

.....date: September 10, 2010....As the day quickly approaches, I wanted to take this time to reflect and ask you all to join me in doing so. This reflection is on one of the worse attacks on the United Sates perhaps since, Pearl Harbor.  At that moment on September 11, 2001, most of us for the first time in our lives realized what it meant to be an American.  The feeling of unity far and wide was felt from the tri-state area to the banks of all states in the United States.  This great nation of promised democracy was put to the ultimate test....Lives were lost! Families were torn! Children were left with no mothers, fathers, brothers, uncles, aunts, grandparents and cousins, who were so familiar in their lives. The lives of each individual throughout the United States was initially impacted by this attack on our great nation.  Yet, as a nation mourns on what will be nine years later on September 11, 2010 we still stand strong knowing that we will rebuild and our faith will carry us to moments of peace that can never be taken away...............
Where were you on September 11, 2001?

"I was in high school. On my way to my Algebra II class." You could see the smoke in the air.  I will never forget that day because for the first time in my life I heard the silence of the American people as we watched and waited, watched and waited, watched and waited, watched and waited....I knew that this great nation would forever be changed. I knew that we were under attack.........................................
