Very touching. I knew a couple of people that were there. Ashley Eckles was one of the children killed NOT in the daycare, but in the social security office with her grandparents. Her father was one of my husbands employees. I also was shown God's great Mercy when my sister missed her appointment to get a liquor license for her store. She would have been right there. I am so glad to see this, nice to know people DONT forget!
Awesome...I can't believe it was that long ago, One of the terrorist only lived a half an hour away from me. I think he is in jail for life. How we forget sence there was 911, this is a beautiful tribute!!
In the aftermath of 9-11, which was the single most horrible event in my lifetime, the OKC bombing is often moved to the back burner. There's only so much tragedy a human brain can wrap itself around, you know? As an Oklahoman, I felt personally the horrors of 9-11 because I had lived through the terror at home myself, just six years previously. The wounds were still fresh, the unbelievableness of the whole idea, the millions of unanswered, "why's?" They were all so fresh in my mind. 9-11 was like living the nightmare again. The Murrah Memorial brings the tragedy to the front of your conscience, all those empty chairs - the big ones for the adults and those 19 small ones for the children. And when you see them, all in a row, and you realize that each one represents not only a person, but an entire family of loss, it's just overwhelming. Marlene, thank you for such a beautiful tribute to a place that is too special for me to begin to explain. You've touched me deeply with this.
Such a beautiful and touching page. I really agree with Shannon that the photo is very compelling. The photo corners that you added really draw your eye in to the photo and journaling.
What a dramatic yet calming lo! Nice job on the cricut rose and branch. They fit in perfectly with the theme. Did you actually take this pic yourself? I can't stop looking at it. Especially after your narrative. Nice one Marlene. Very nice!
This area wasn't as large as I expected for so much horror, pain and sadness that occurred that memorable day. Those chairs were especially poignant.Like the branch. Does it stand for the tree that was left standing? Well done!
Alfred P. Murrah Memorial, Oklahoma City, OK. There is engraving over the entry that says "We come here to remember those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever. May all who leave here know the impact of violence. May this memorial offer comfort, peace, hope and serenity". My journaling reads: This monument marks the place where 168 people (including 19 children) were killed by domestic terrorists on April 19, 1995. The strength and honor of this site is moving, unforgettable and a fitting tribute to the loss of so many innocent lives. For the Old Page Maps 26 challenge Sketch #1
