I will never forget the pain, heart ache, worry and despair that Hurricane Katrina brought to my life. However, I will also never forget the positive life changes that I have made because Hurricane Katrina came into my life. That was the worst year of my existence thus far. My mother's illness declined rapidly and she quite literally was knocking on death's door. My family's and friends along with my houses were ripped apart. It's a horrible feeling to realize that you have no place to go - just the clothes you haphazardly threw in a suitcase, the pictures you tried to tote and your cat in her little caddy. I know that we go through experiences in life - great and small, but that particular storm rocked my world....we've all moved on though, we have to - you gotta keep living and find a new home even if your heart still belongs on the Gulf Coast. I've made new memories since including a wedding, new pets, a new job and a new state to live in. We're happy again, but I will never forget burying my face into my fiance's chest and wailing about the loss of the lives and the loss of our home.

9-11. Because one will NEVER forget where they were when the news came on about the planes hitting the World Trade Center, The Pentagon and the field in Pennsylvania.

I was in Queens (New York City) when the planes hit the towers. It was hard enough for those to watch it on TV but to see everything play out LIVE and to see the effects afterwards (people putting up posters searching for loved ones).

Trying to get home was rather surreal...no traffic at 5PM since they cleared out most of the city. Yet for a while the one thing "good" (I know, strange choice of word) that happened was that people became more friendlier towards others and more helpful....New York City really came together.

I said/did something back in elementary school and it was embarrassing and everybody was laughing at me, even the 1 or 2 teachers that were outside with us. Ever since, I've been really shy around other people and don't talk much, and I'm 20 now and still like that. And I was only like 5 or 6. or so when that happened. It seems that one incident has screwed my life up big time. (Because of my shyness, I haven't had many girlfriends or friends in my life).

The whole day of November 11, 1996. That was the day that my best friend became my 'soon to be husband' but he FORGOT to tell me that, so I didn't know until the next day ... but we did kiss twice ... once he bought me a book I couldn't afford until the first of the next month, and I went to kiss his cheek when he turned to say something to me, and I caught him 'full on the mouth' (we BOTH remember the 'Christmas Lights' on the trees being RED, only the city doesn't light the trees where we live until after Thanksgiving, and then they are all WHITE lights) and the second when I asked him for a 'hug goodnight' and he gave me the MOST PASSIONATE KISS EVER (we almost set off the building fire alarms). We are now planning our 11th anniversary on Valentine's Day next year ... we also celebrate every Veteran's Day as a 'special anniversary' because it was the FIRST DAY of us as a 'real couple' even if I didn't find out until the next day. I'm 57 and he's 50, by the way, so we were both MATURE ADULTS, even though we were both ACTING LIKE TEENAGERS that day (on purpose, and by agreement to 'be outrageous' while we were out shopping for a computer printer ... which we never bought, because I found out he needed new boots and couldn't afford both ... the printer was for ME so I could write and print stuff out on his computer.

I will answer this backwards...shear Embarrassment.Years ago while at my Moms for Christmas Dinner, I brought my dishes to add to her's so we would have enough. I had to of already had a few drinks and was bragging about the Corelle dinnerware and how it wouldn't break. I was dared by my Uncle and said ok then open up the door...and I sailed a dinner plate out the door onto the concrete....and crash and break into a thousand pieces it did....Well, apparently the look on my face was worth a thousand words, and I was so embarrassed....everyone just laughed.

When I learned that my daddy had died. I was 9 then, I am 47 now. But I'll never forget that day when he kissed Mom goodbye and went off for an overnight fishing trip from which he never returned. It sounds really sad, but it's really cool because he departed this world doing what he loved best!

I think as we get older and experience life, there are many events that take place that we will never forget and its hard to pick out just one to be more important than the others.

you have your first love, your first heart break, your first sexual experience, your first marriage, your first divorce (not everyone but statistics show most will), the birth of your first child, the first family member that passes away, your first job, the first time you are fired........... those are all "firsts" but most of the time those are what we remember the most. There are also the significant events that aren't firsts that we will remember.... disasters that wipe out people we love, winning the lottery, wrecking a car......... etc etc.

When I got stuck waist deep in muck in Charleston, SC. I know it's not romantic or anything, but it took an hour and a half to get out. I had visions of my death being in the newspaper. Fortunately I knew what to do.

the day i helped out in a free ligation center.

there wasn't much anesthesia or space in the health center then. blank eyed women wriggling in pain on the floor as i tiptoed over them, handing them their antibiotics and escorting one patient after the other into spontaneous operating rooms, and the doctors were very crass and almost brutal.

really, it made me realize how horrible it must be to not be able to live your life according to plan

I actually medically died one time and then had to spend the next nine months in the hospital. So there is something that I remember everyday. It makes me feel lucky to be alive and that is always a good thing :)
