... I was 10, celebrating my Mom's and Godmother's birthdays, which were both on the same date. We only learned about the WTC the day after.

So for the most time, we didn't let that embitter that date. But in the last few years, the goverment in this country has let delinquency and crime weed out unchecked, which drove my Grandmother to leave and move to Florida with her family, and I seldomly see her again.

Then, around five/six years ago, my mom passed away. Four days after her latest birthday.

So... this date doesn't make me feel anything, to be honest. I don't mean to disrespect anyone else with this, all the contrary. But emotionally, this date doesn't affect me for the reasons you'd expect.
