Because it 's the anniversary of a horrible event .Because the weather is bad .Because they are getting old .Because they are tired .
Why is the speaker upset ?
I woke up this morning knowing it was 9/11 , but not really wanting to face the day . The pouring rain did n't help . It seems like Mother Nature was as gloomy about the day as I was . I ca n't believe it 's been seven years since that horrible day .
