I wasn't living in Okc at the time but my in laws are so we would come visit often. I remember that year we had been here two weeks before it had happened. My father-in-law was scheduled for a 9am appointment in that building on that very morning and at the last minute the day before was rescheduled for a different place to be but down town in the same area. At his appointment he and his wife felt the blast and was right in the middle of all of it. Now that I live here, we've been to the OKC Memorial Site. It's quite the site. Can't believe it's been so long already. Very tragic.
Remember the OKC bombing April 19th.

Still have nightmares!
The victims and their families are in my heart!

Think About It
Wow, very lucky for him. I remember that day clearly. Had reconnected with a cousin and took him & his wife out to dinner. The bombing had happened earlier and we talked about it.

Crazyblondeb, have you been to the Memorial site? It's unreal what one man with an agenda can do on this planet.
In the video the tree you see in one of the frames, actually survived the blast. The writing behind it on the wall, if you can see it, was written that day and is still there.

Yeah Think, that was just to close for comfort. Those kids died in the basement daycare.

That was the most awful thing that I have seen happen in this state ever. I cried for days as I watched the coverage on the news. It's hard to believe it has been 15 years!

It was awful, and over the years, my struggle has lessened. My birthday is tomorrow, the day before...this time of
year, it haunts me....But it has gotten better! I can't wait to see the memorial...I couldn't bring myself to watch
the video!
