Ok well I know most everyone (besides me) is using this day to talk about 9/11 the twin towers. Well I, on the other hand, am gonna use this day as a shout out to both my sperm donor and my daddy because it happens to be the day of their birth. Happy Birthday guys! Sorry the nations biggest catastrophe had to happen on your day. Especially you Dad because I know how patriotic you are and have always been (I know I know buy American. Shit I got a Ford but it broke down.) The good news is that as of yet another plane train or bomb did not go off anywhere in the nation and we are still alive and (mostly) well. I know it has been 5 years and most everyone can remeber where they were or what they were thinkin when they saw what was going on in our great nation. What I can remember is thinkin (I was 5 months pregnant at the time and emotional) was "My poor daddy any day but this" because I knew your heart was breaking. I know the first thought should have been on all the people who died or were injured. The ones who were finding out their families were never gonna be whole again. But all I could think of was my dad and how this had just ruined his day forever. I know it is selfish but it was the best I could muster at the time. And my next thoughts and tears were for the ones in New York and around the country trying to pick up the pieces. But, as always, my first thoughts went to the man I look up to and admire most in my life. My dad....
