In loving memory of….
July 25, 2011Friday 22.07.2011
A day i will never ever forget as long as i live.
On this day, Norway experienced something so evil, that i still have difficulties believing it 3 days after.
1 man alone, went on a killing-spree, believing it was something he had to to to save Norway and Europe from ourselves, and from the muslims. It’s his belief, that in not to many years, WE will thank him for doing this… Because it was neccacary.
His words excactly. “It was gruesome, but it needed to be done”
I have never before in my life felt like i did through this weekend. I’ve lost friends before, and i’ve lost and mourned family members. But this man brought out something else…I’ve never had such a strong feeling before, that something was so meaningless, and so so terribly wrong..
We still don’t know excactly how many lives he managed to take on july 22nd. But whatever that number ends on… each and every life taken is a tragedy.
Today, around 50 000 people gathered in the centre of Bergen, with candles & roses in our hands, to mourn the lives lost, and support the ones who are left behind. Almost 200 000 gathered in Oslo, and thousands more in the other cities around Norway.
The message to this man is clear! And i won’t mention his name, just because i never ever want to actually put his name in writing. He doesn’t deserve it.
You were hoping that we’d be scared and start a war. But instead, we stick together, stronger than ever.

I have never seen so much love in the streets as i did today.
Never forget 22.07.2011. All my love to the ones who have fallen, and to their family & friends who are left behind. We love you, and will never forget you, even though we never met you.
