NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. 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.
