"Turn on the tv, quick!", she wailed. As the two of us held one another sobbing in front of the television, I suddenly remembered my husband was working one street over from Murrah that day.<br /><br />Filled with a growing panic, I ran for the phone only to have it ring before I could reach it. It was Bob, assuring me he was emotionally shaken but physically fine. We both wept, thanking God for his mercy.Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18000815937078399278noreply@blogger.com
