September 10th...I broke up with my Arabian girlfriend from being with her for 2 years...she resides in Dearborn heights, Mi. We had met while I was visiting for a potenical job offer and hit it off at a bar close to where i was staying and where she lived. We carried on a long distance relationship while we both attended College. However with the restrictions of us seeing eachother, I had to break it off because I needed more affection during that period of school and life. On September 10th I had called her and yes broke up over the phone and in an email. The next mourning my roommate woke me up and said "Chris" you got to come see this...we sat and watched the fire burning from the first tower then watched together the second plane slamming into the next tower...after a couple hours then days even the worst scenario didnt bother "it seemed my x girl friend" as she tried rather then talking about this horrible event, she tried getting us back together...I cant stop to ponder that on 9/11 i dreamt that my girl friends father did 911 because of me breaking up with his daughter.

Kind of...I have always been in multi-racial relationships, Most recent Im dating and hoping to stay with a girl that has given me a sense of strong willed love to carry on with. She although is West Indian as a nationality however her parents raised her in the Carribean. We not yet have been looked at as out siders, but you cant help to think that one day someone may confront us in a rude mannor.

That we all in some way as Americans can feel a certain amount of comfort with eachother sharing a piece of our personality pie from 911 in helping eachother coop.

We didnt but the American flag has always been a dominant statement in our family as we hang / carry / wear / and distrubute flags during our 4th of july parties.
