Oklahoma City Bombing

I don’t know how I could forget.  I don’t think I really did.  I was anxious, upset, irritable all day and especially during my scheduled night shift on Wednesday.  I didn’t realize why until I got home Thursday morning and was crying for what I thought was no reason.

 

I was there.  I was in the ER that morning as a student nurse.  I saw things that a person should never have to experience, see, smell, or hear in their lifetime.  War, at home, here in America.  Did you ever think it was possible?  I know I didn’t.

 

What makes us remember 9/11 and forget 4/19/95?  Shame on me, and shame on America.  We can never forget…

 

Life does go on, it's just maybe different.

I can't forget... My grandma worked in the building... We spent hours trying to find out where she was... For some reason she had the day off, unscheduled... A lot of her friends died...
