“Obligatory not me, but my grandma. My grandma and her husband (not my grandpa, more like step-grandpa) both worked at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. My grandma, already on vacation in Texas, decided to not drive the day she originally planned for and extended her leave one extra day – April 19, 1995. That was the day of the Oklahoma City Bombing. Unfortunately my step-granddad lost his life in that bombing, among many other people. I still remember my grandma on TV speaking on the tragedy and her story was even published in one of those Chicken Soup for the Soul books (I don’t remember which one). I’m thankful for my grandma still being here with us today but also saddened so many people lost their lives to a vicious terrorist attack. She’s become a more adventurous person in her life since and now travels wherever and whenever she can.” – torn-bonne
