I remember the new millennium so vividly only because I had become a new mother just months prior; August 3, 1999. I recall the terror that struck my heart when the water and electrical failures were rumored. All I could think about was how my husband and I would feed and maintain each other for our newborn! We proceeded to collect two liter pop bottles filled with water, canned foods, baby foods and bought every diaper we could afford at the time. Funny how as a community we did not come together more to support each other in our fears; rather we continued to listen and believe that a country as sophisticated as ours technologically would not be able to survive. Thank God and our very intelligent folks out there that had Y2K all figured out before it took my (our) world away!
