September 11

Today was the 5th anniversary of the terrorists attacks. I didn't watch a lot of the TV coverage. Today would have been my dad's 82nd birthday. He died in February of 2004. I decided to remember that instead.

There are a bunch of family birthdays in September. I remember a family reunion that was held in a September. Everyone that had a September birthday gathered around one cake. We took a photo. I really like that photo. My dad looked very happy. My aunt was in the photo too. She died from lung cancer.

Memories are something you get to choose. I choose the happy ones today.
