Sometimes terrible things happen, and everybody knows. On April 19, 1995, something terrible happened in Oklahoma City: a bomb exploded, and people were hurt and killed. But that was not the end of the story. Those who survived&#8211;and those who were forever changed&#8211;shared their stories and began to heal. Near the site of the bomb blast, an American elm tree began to heal as well. People took care of the tree just as they took care of each other. The tree and its seedlings now offer solace to people around the world grappling with tragedy and loss.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/asuen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Familieswriteblue-595x340.png?resize=525%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11133\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1.
