Fifteen years ago today I was sitting with my 7 month old baby, glued to the TV and crying...Oklahoma City had a huge explosion - an act of terrorism - and many innocent people, including children, died. I could not comprehend taking a child to daycare and having them die w/in the hour. Such a senseless loss. I was stunned. How can this happen in America??
I had the opportunity to visit the site of the bombing and the memorial years later, after Patrick was born. If I find the photos on a disk, I'll post them later. I have to say, of all the historical places I have been in my life, this was the most moving. The hardest part of being there was seeing the child-sized chairs for the children who died. I can't even imagine.
and I'll never forget.
oh, and just for the record...Patrick went for a stroll in the reflection pool. I was mortified! :)
