Rose March!!

Today, tomorrow and wednesday, there will be marches with lights, but especially ROSES in respect and memory of the gruesome scenes that played out, just a stone-throw away from our new home at the country, and as respect for the bombing in Oslo aswell!! We will change it up a bit, and carry roses in different colours. I kinda love that !!

One of our close relatives, not even 11 years watched his father being shot as one of the first at Utøya, and the little boty pleeded for his life to the desperado, saying that you have killed my father now, can you please not shoot me, so that I can have a longer life than what you want to give me? Amazing what a boy of 10 can be able to say and do, right?? I wil not tell more of the terrible details of this case in particullar, but having experienced loss in an extreme way personally, me and my close family have just visited the family which are also our neighbours, just to give them  a HUG!! I just remember when the tragedy struck me and my family over 15 years ago (I will MAYBE tell that story... maybe not, I have to feel upon it for a while), people in our community avoided us, maybe because they didnt know what to say in such a tragedy, but I remember that when people crossed the street because they saw us because they were afraid of the sorrow and the unbelieveable tragedy, and how to handle it.. THAT kind of action hurt more than ANYTHING. So it was important for us to visit our closely affected family just to HUG them <3

And a lesson for anyone who's willing to listen; words are not always necessary. Just being ther, holding someone and giving them a good hug is often sufficient!!

I miss my mother in law. I wish she was back in Norway. I miss her, and I miss visiting her with her son!! Amazing what shit does to our perspectives ;)

<3 

I love my entire exctended family!!

Norwegian right-wing extremist's manifesto

Oh yeah, he (the terrorist) has released a manifest, where a lot of what he touches upon are kind of a warning of what was going to happen here in our peace-loving country, Norway, last friday! Why did not a right wing extremist like Brewick get "picked up" by the right departements within the police? Can it be that the muslim-hate and fear, started by the Bush II government in the U.S, that has blindfolded all western communities of the threat of the neo-nazi type extremists like Andrew Brewick/Anders Brevik? Any regrets? Will anyone step forward and be real men/women and take some responsibility for the fact that the last Bush administration (amongst others) made the word terrorist synonymous with muslims? History will tell us; NO, that will be "brushed under the rug"! Sad, sad :(

If I personally have taken ONE important thing, above anything else, from the terror our very small, diplomatically and peace-making country has experienced, it is that the fear is a lower power, and living life is SO important that I will live my life like there's no tomorrow - EVERYDAY! I will learn EVERYTHING I've ever dreamed of learning, and I will not let laziness or secondguessing EVER take place in my life, ever agan! I will live like never before, like there's no tomorrow. <3 <3 <3 <3 I will forever focus all my strength of living life, and meeting my fellow citizens and people all over the world with the love and warmth we as brothers and sisters DESERVE!!!
