Like Yesterday: There are some major world events in life that affect us deeper than others. These events often catch us off guard, cause change in the world or within us and are imprinted on our brain so strongly that we can remember exactly where we were and what we were doing when the event happened or when we heard that the event occurred. It seems as if each decade has these events. In the 1960s, for some people that event was the day Kennedy was shot or when Martin Luther King Jr. gave his 'I Had a Dream Speech'. In the 1970s, many can recall what they were doing when Nixon denied involvement in the Watergate scandal with the notorious words, "I am not a crook." In the 1980s, some people remember when the Berlin Wall fell. Or in the 1990s when they learned Princess Diana was killed in a car crash. For me, that major world event was September 11, 2001, when the World Trade Center Twin Towers were attacked. No matter how long it has been since this event occurred, it is ingrained in my mental history. I was only a couple of blocks away when the attacks happened, attending my first year of college at Pace University in lower Manhattan. In this short story I tell my account of what I experienced in the days leading up to September 11th, the day itself, and the days that followed. This is my answer to where were you on September 11, 2001?

PRECIOUS LOVE: A Companion Novella to Falling Apart: An Unconventional Love Story Can you really plan an entire wedding in only two months? There is so much to be done, find a venue, make a guest list, pick out flowers and cake, find the perfect decorations, and try on countless dresses...so many things. And then there is my mom. I love her to death but she drives me crazy. I can't tell you how many times I've had to tell my mother there will be no rainbow decorations, there will be no garter toss. There will be no little figures on top of the cake-one dressed in a tux and one in a gown-and for the hundredth time stop calling it a gay wedding...it is just a wedding. I get that she is trying to be supportive and helpful, but she isn't being either of those things. I have dreamed of this moment since I was a little girl.

Our love is too precious to let anyone-or anything-stand in our way. Precious Love is Sarah and Nikki's love story.
