More on the tragedy...

I have tried to stay away from much of the news surrounding the Virginia Tech tragedy; mostly, because I feel there is only SO much one can take. I have kept up through the newspaper, but other than that, it's been pretty limited.

Today, I picked up the newspaper on our front walkway to find the faces of the victims and it suddenly became VERY real to me. I immediately got the chills. It's hard to look at the faces and think of all they have left to accomplish. Granted, there are people dying everyday in scenarios that are similar and very different. However, most of them are not sitting in what is supposed to be one of the safest places you can be...your school classroom.

The scariest picture of them all is the one where Cho is pointing the gun at the camera. I can only sit back and imagine what it was like to really see that and have that fear tearing through you in your final moments.

As with other tragedies, this is going to take a long time for the public to feel comfortable and safe again. It is going to take a very long time for the students of Virginia Tech to feel safe where they are.

...again, I say my prayers to all of the people surrounding that terrible tragedy...
