Stories about those days.

The stories that people have about Jamie’s photos are a source of amazement.  Some are of the “that’s me and we were doing this” type of stories from Jamie’s friends. Some are the “I never met Jamie but this was taken on my birthday and it means a lot to me. And some are just stunningly moving one of a kind stories.

    Coincidence? It is the day that my boyfriend was born back in Spain. I just took a look to the pic that was taken the day I was born and the most perceptible was a couple ans here we have that couple maybe? I have been with my boyfriend from I was 16.

    This is the day I was born, in Kalamazoo Michigan.
    A world away I was born after having to be c-sected before my umbilical cord (which had become wrapped around my neck) could choke me.

    Am amazing story by an amazing man. He obviously loved NYC as does anyone who lives here. Sad he is gone, but at least he was spared seeing the city he loved, torn apart due to 9/11. He used the WTC in numerous photos. At least he passed knowing the true NYC was still standing.

    I was at a cook out at a family members house. Actually it was at their neighbor’s. I remember we were all inside that evening waiting for the Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield rematch to start. I think me and my cousin were playing some weird board game and listening to music before the fight came on. Most of the adults were in the back room watching the fight while most of the other kids were out in the living room with us along with a married couple that I have never met. All of us in the living room wanted Mike Tyson to win while most people in the back wanted Evander Holyfield to win. Everyone in the back room started chanting Holyfield to mess with us and we ” Tyson! ” and it went on back and forth for a few minutes. Then the fight came on. It did not go past the third round because this is the fight where Tyson bit off a piece of Holyfields ear. One of the best nights of my life. Except for the ear biting that wasn’t so great. This was two months before my fourteenth birthday.

    I was exactly two months away from my thirteenth birthday and I was on summer vacation from school. It was a lazy day watching tv and I remember watching news coverage of the Atlanta Olympic bombing that happened much earlier that morning.
