So grateful to celebrate my birthday today with special friends, especially on this day of remembrance of the tragic loss of lives 17 years ago. I wasn’t at ground zero that day or involved in any way except for the date of my birthday. It’s hard, but important, every 9/11 around 9am to honor those that perished that day, still brings tears to my eyes. But I count my blessings and live the joy of celebrating my birthday with family and friends. Thanks for celebrating with me today and looking forward to the upcoming days when I have the chance to celebrate with even more friends and family!#gratefulheart #neverforget911 #911birthday https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnmnl7Chcmn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=121ug1z9rm9kn
