It all started September 10th we went out to the bars, to celebrate my 21st birthday which is September 11th! I woke up that morning with the biggest hang over ever. We had only lived in our house about 3 weeks, and our TV was not yet hooked up, my aunt had called prior to all this to let us know what was going on, we plugged in our little TV, and did our best trying to see everything that was happening. We had planned on going to the casinos to party for my birthday, we still did but it was just not the same, we were having a great time, but we knew what was going on outside those casino doors, and it was heartbreaking. I will never forget my 21st birthday, I always pictured it to be the greatest day ever, well I had a good birthday but it was not at all the way I would have ever pictured it. That day will always be with me, Here a year later I'm turning 22 and I look back, and still cant believe what happened, I went to work this morning just all cheerful and ready for the day, I ended up crying twice, cause I heard so many sad songs, everyone says i should change my birthday to the 10th but I wont! September 11th has always been my day and it always will be, I cant change what happened, but I can Pray!
