There were around 100 babies born without their dads after the terror attacks on September 11, 2001. In an upcoming TV special, PEOPLE magazine revisit those children, who are now in their mid-teens.
Children of 9/11, 15 Years Later will feature kids such as Lauren McIntyre (pictured above), whose dad died after running into the South Tower to save others, as they talk about how their lives have been affected by the tragic events that took place before they were even born.
14-year-old Jamie Pila was born six months after her dad died, and “is the special gift he left for us,” according to her mum Jill.
“My mum says I’m brave like [my dad],” Jamie said. “When I do well on something or have a big moment, I wish he was here with me.”
