>I wasn't alive, but you want to know why I remember and will never forget the day of his assasination? This week isn't the best for my family. For some very odd reason, people in my family like to die this week. My grandpa died on the 23rd, an aunt on the 24th (one year after my grandpa), and another aunt on the 25th (many years later). I always get nervous when this week comes every year. And since I can't forget the 23rd, 24th, and 25th, it was very easy to remember Kennedy dying on the 22nd. People are usually shocked to see that I know that bit of history since I'm only in my 20's.
