18 years

So I've never blogged about this but with everything that has happened in Boston and around the world I want to remember.

On a Wednesday morning 18 years ago life in Oklahoma changed forever. Home grown terrorist strap Oklahoma City. I was a freshman in high school, between second and third hour I first heard of tragedy.
As I walked into my third hour, Oklahoma history, our teacher, coach Bush, turned on the TV and let us watch the live newscast. Oklahoma history in the making.
168 people lost their lives that day including 19 children in a daycare, at the front of the building. A Soccer teammate lost her mother. So many people lost their innocence.
April 19 will always be remembered.
