in re: okies

We are still digging out of the rubble here in Oklahoma. A couple of fierce, killer tornados wiped our part of the populous and much of the community in two areas of our state.
The stories of loss are devastating. It will take time to heal and to rebuild.
We have known loss before. We will find the strength to endure and to rebuild.
We are nothing if not resilient.
We have proven to it ourselves and to the world many times.
From the land run to Oklahoma City Bombing to wildfires and floods, we have endured. We will endure again; still. With the help of God, each others and the many hands who have reached out (and continue to reach out) we will rise to our feet again, square our shoulders and trudge on. That is what Okies do. It is what we've always done. Whatever comes. Whatever it takes, we find the strength. We endure.
