What's your personal 9/11 day, life-changing, life-altering event? (for lack of a better term)

Mine in brief: (and this has been hitting me suddenly - just when I think I'm over it - in the last few weeks).. losing my mom very suddenly in 2000 to a very curable aneurysm.. if we'd only known what the symptoms were and had her had a MRI, we could have saved her in time.

I've had a few of them, but nothing that suddenly brings me to my knees.

July 17, 1993 - Day I got married.
December 7, 1993 - Day my daughter was born.

But both of those events had build-up and were expected. So I can't say as I've had anything that was suddenly life-altering.

Probably the day my daughter was born. As much as I knew what was coming - I didn't really know what was coming. It has altered my life in a way that is completely different from how people generally describe it.

Also, probably the day I first "fell in love". Up till that point I really had problems with self-esteem, and couldn't fathom that someone might actually find me desirable. Yeah, that sounds pretty emo/melodramatic, but sheesh, it was pretty true.

It was in summer of '89 and I don't want to talk about it.

But it is pretty much why I am how I am.

You worthless sons of bitches.

When I found out that the Boy Scout Camp counselor my pal Alex and I had befriended had been arrested for fondling a boy in his troop's ass.

Don't remember the exact date, but it was the day I flunked out of university.

It's okay though, I transferred to another one.

I suppose I should add April 10th, 2003 - the date my mother died. Saw it coming (breast cancer) but still.
