Hello my name is Alice Rose Salvatore I live with my mom Rose, my dad Damon, and my twin sister Angel Marie Salvatore. Today is our birthday September 11, 2009 and we are turning 15 years old today. Angel is the oldest by 2 minutes although she doesn't brag about it. Everyone can tell that Angel and I are definitely twins, we both have long black hair, and blue eyes that seem to glow, and we both love music, drawing, and writing. I see my mom coming in the drive way from work and I run down stairs to see her I might have forgotten to mention earlier that my mom and I are like best friends and the same thing for my dad and Angel. My mom came in with a cake and 2 wrapped presents each for Angel and me. We cut the cake and had some, and I opened a present and it was a sketchbook and crayons, and Angel got one with colored pencils instead of crayons just like we asked for. We opened the second and I got an Mp4 Player and Angel got and I-touch just like we asked for again. Suddenly I got a flashback of our 7th birthday in the September of 2001. *It was the day of 9/11 and Angel and I had been taking music lessons for 2 years. We came home from school with paper birthday crowns from our teacher on our heads laughing and giggling about our day in school, when we walked in we saw our parents sitting at the kitchen table with a cake between them. We ate our cake and my dad got up and got a huge wrapped gift from the living room and said "Angel since you took guitar lessons we got you a guitar just like you asked." He handed it to her and my mom came in with a small wrapped gift and said "We got you a Violin like you asked for." We opened our gifts and I saw a beautiful wood violin and Violet got a purple guitar and we tuned it and went to the living room to play them. Our parents turned on the news and there was a live video footage of a building smoking and a woman said "There has been a terrorist attack from an airplane crash into the twin towers 2 hours ago and thousands of lives have been lost already as firefighters race against time and the flames to get the people out." I saw mom and dad sit there silently watching and I looked over at Angel who had the same thought as me which was what if it was one of our family members. She looked at me and I nodded and we started to play a song we heard yesterday called Savin' Me by the band Nickelback. We played that song that day for all the families that lost loved ones and wished that they could bring them back and that they had been saved. Angel and me were crying as we played the song over again as the news broadcast played and mom and dad said a prayer. Every year after that on our birthday we play a song and say a prayer for the 9/11 angels and grieving families.* I was brought back to the present again and today we downloaded songs, and played Savin' Me and Where were you when the world stopped turning by Alan Jackson and now I can play the piano to the songs since I took lessons when I was 13, and Angel can play the clarinet to some songs to since she learned in band class 4 years ago. I know that even when me and Angel are adults together wee will get together and continue our 9/11 birthday tradition since 9/11/01. Angel and I know that our parents are very proud of us for keeping that music tradition and I hope that we continue to keep it that way.
