Think about those who are pregnant. Those who cannot get pregnant. Those who have miscarried.
Pregnancy announcements are not a joke.
It's also as unrelated to breast cancer as cheese toast.
Besides, OCTOBER is breast cancer awareness month. Why not start a trend for 9/11 remembrance? Something like... posting where you were when you heard the news that changed America forever.
I was 13, getting ready for another day of 8th grade. I was listening to the radio, The Morning Zoo. I didn't understand.
When I got to school, my homeroom teacher had the news on, as did every other teacher in the school for the rest of the day.
I got the opportunity to go to New York 11 months after. There were large holes in the ground where the towers once stood. Roads were still shut down all around. The Subway was still out of commission. Steele from one of the corners of one of the towers had been left in place, formed into a cross. Trinity church had thousands and thousands of photos of missing people.
I will not forget.
I'm with you on the pregnancy thing. I just don't understand anything about it. How does keeping something secret spread awareness anyway? But yeah...9/11 was a powerful and emotional day for sure. Thanks for your post.
