an interview, a promotion, a meeting with the parents after a dating a while, a wedding proposal, a wedding, the birth of your first born, the day your first born goes to school for the first time, graduates school, gets their first job, first car, many firsts…But as of today, September 11,2021, as did on September 11, 2001, 2,977 (and growing…) did not live to see their many firsts
