Not Again…Woodward, Oklahoma

Posted on April 10, 2012 by allinadayofme

When I was a little girl we lived in Covington, Oklahoma. We moved there from Des Moines, Iowa in 1946 and moved to East Peoria, Illinois in 1948. I believe it was in the spring of ’48 we had a very bad storm, the tail-end of a tornado. It was so bad in our little town I’ve never forgotten it. But even worse was a town that was hit head on by that same tornado. It was practically wiped out. Woodward, Oklahoma. I still remember the name of the town. Today, Woodward, Oklahoma, was hit by a tornado and was on our news here in Michigan! I feel so bad for those people again. I’ll be watching the news for further reports. Hopefully it wasn’t as bad this time. They are in my prayers.

Notes from Robert Clark's travels

Vic's Final Journey

Dying is a lonely journey. Not only for the sick person but also for the family. As hard as we may try to avoid death, the truth is that we do a lousy job of it. Science and medicine will certainly postpone it, even staying healthy might seem to delay it, but the harsh reality is that death does not wait for you, it does not ask you, and it does not listen to you. Death ignores your feelings and wants; you do not matter to death…Death is the only certainty in life! We need to remember that our existence here is fragile, and we never have as much time with people as we think we do. If there is someone or someones out there that you love, don’t neglect that and don’t put off engaging with them because waits for no-one... Vic's Journey ended on 18 January 2013 at 10:35. She was the most courageous person in the world and has inspired thousands of people all over the world. Vic's two boys are monuments of her existence. She was an amazing mother, daughter, sister and friend. I will miss you today, tomorrow and forever my Angle Child.
