Norway a land in grief!


This past weekend has been horrible.

The whole country of Norway is in grief.

The 22nd of July will forever be a date that we will remember!

Because that is the day when a Norwegian man decided to attack his fellow country men and women. He killed 7 people when he bombed the government buildings in Oslo and he killed 85 young people in a massacre at Utøya (outside Oslo). I still can't believe it!! My heart is heavy and everything else just feels trivial. I wanted to do so much this weekend but everything were put on ice because of this. And the things don't matter anymore. I don't even remember the things that I wanted to do. The days have been filled with a lot of hours in front of the TV watching the horrible images and a lot of thoughts. When things like this happen you really appreciate the people in your life. Your mother and father, brothers and sisters, daughters and sons, husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends, grandmothers and grandfathers, friends, and let’s not forget the people we just barely know.

Everybody is important!

Everybody is loved!

And everybody has a place in our hearts!

And I just want to send my condolences to everybody who lost a loved one.

We shall never forget them.

May they all rest in peace.
