A Day That Will Forever Live In Infamy

Sometime in the future like Pearl Harbor day, September 11th will only be a day on the calendar. Many kids my age don't feel the same way I feel about the horrific actions that occurred that day. Maybe it's a maturity issue kids my age have or maybe its because everyday as a kid I would wake up and see the twin towers out my window. Only being a kid, I didn't know much about what the Trade Towers, but I felt like they were my home. They were part of my family growing up, my dad made a living around the trade centers, and my mom would over spend the money my dad made in the shopping center below the 110 floors that came crashing down September 11th. Every year about a week before September 11th, National Geographic would have documentaries on what happened that day. I've seen every single one multiple times, and every time I feel an overwhelming emotion that I can't describe. My parents won't watch it with me because my mom starts crying and my dad usually starts swearing at the television. 9/11 has affected my family to a point that one would think we had love ones in those towers. Sure my dad had friends working in those towers, but no family members were lost. But for me, only being 17 years old, I feel like I've lost my two best friends. Having something greet me every morning, and have it suddenly be gone is a terrible lost that i will never get over. September 11th will always be a tough day for my family, and i promise no matter how many years, decades, and millenniums past I will always remember September 11th as a day that I lost two close friends.
