Today is my co-workers anniversary. He and his wife are married 14 years. He said it's just not the same. Especially since he was suppose to be in the towers for a presentation but it got cancelled 2 days prior.

That is sad. There was a feature on the news the other day about kids who were born on 9/11/01. The parents said that they still celebrate their births but do it in different ways. One said that she has a birthday party for her son, but it always has a patriotic theme. I guess the difference is that these kids are 5 years old and cannot understand what happenedthat day.
I can understand your friend's feelings, but I don't think he should feel guilty to celebrate his birthday... he can always celebrate the day before or after. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon to you friend.

My nephew is one of those kids...(not one of the ones on the tx show -- but was born that day in NJ). Honestly, my nephew has no comprehension about what happened that day. I've always said it would be far worse for someone who was an adult or at least old enough to experience what happened that day... than it ever will be for him. For him -- 9/11 will be a historical event he reads about -- much like pearl harbor, vietnam, etc... are for me. He was every bit as excited for his bday this year as any other kid... and I'm glad for that.

I am sorry that your friend won't celebrate.. I think he should try to celebrate on another day if he can't bring himslef to do it the day of!
