A sad share today. Yesterday was the 17th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing.
I read that in 2004 the Oklahoma Rose was added to their state flower. I just hope we never forget. 168 lives cut short , their memory intact in the hearts and minds of those who loved them.
Today the 13th anniversary of Columbine High School. Thirteen lives gone but not forgotten. Leaving loved ones without their smiles, their lives forever changed.
The white peace rose. A hopeful symbol to stop the bullying. Today a beautiful Spring day and then my son's high school sent an email. A young man's life cut short, possibly self inflicted. Kids saying he was quiet, he was bullied . I have seen no great change since Oklahoma City, since Columbine. A sad world we live in. Be politically correct. Don't pray, be hateful. Be cruel. Television endorses hateful behavior. Yet no one can ever stop the bullying.
I really had to write this today. I hope none of you will ever forget. Let me thank
Beverly because she does a wonderful job of keeping us in the pink loop each weekend. I hope you will visit some pinkies today.

It's so sad that kids are growing up with media painting vivid pictures of what is "cool" and what isn't. It feeds the desire to want to bully or be someone that they are not. My stepson is like that....brilliant kid but would rather hang with the bad kids instead of the smart kid. I wonder when it will stop?
Really sad.
Sad day, I will never forget! Beautiful flowers! That Oklahoma Rose is AWESOME!
I pray for those who are bullied and the bullies that they will see the light and stop!
Hope you are enjoying this Saturday morning dear friend! HUGS!
Lovely!...:)JP

Oklahoma Bombing - I will never forget.
I was working at Tulsa Community College on that dreadful day.
I don't think many of us can ever forget that day! It is sad the world this generation of kids is growing up in. xo Diana

I like with these beautiful flowers in soft colors, very interesting.
GORGEOUS flowers! Happy Spring!
Great post. We should never forget all the chaos that has taken innocent lives and we should not forget the tormented life that decided this was the best solution for their pain.
The world changes when each and every one of us makes the choice every day to be a more loving and caring person. When we begin the day in prayer for each other. When God is the CENTER of our lives. Change comes slow, one person at a time. Keep praying and believing that it is happening.
Keep being the voice who have been silenced.
Very pretty pink spring flowers. sandie
