Over 150 000 people met up (that is a quarter of Oslo's population!) with roses and other flowers, and our Crown Prince Håkon and Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg showed up to hold speeches.

The flowers were pretty amazing, it's nice that you were able to attend the march. I was told over the weekend that 2 of my cousins (my uncle's daughters) were at the camp that day, but they managed to be unharmed. The younger cousin was actually hiding in a cabin with a few others when the shooter walked in, but didn't fire. It's really weird to think about because I had no reason to consider that any of my family members would be there, but they'll be traumatized that's for sure.

Oh, I am so glad your cousins got away unharmed! The child of a co-worker of mine also hid in a cabin, inside a wardrobe. Yeah, everyone I know who has been there and survived are traumatized. And none of them I have heard back from are able to sleep a full night. I feel so sorry for them. :( And I feel so sorry for the families I know who has lost someone there.
