Like anytime something unbelievable and tragic happens, our modern media inundates us constantly with updates and horrific images, video of grieving survivors and the like. More eloquent and heartfelt words have been written elsewhere, on mainstream sites and blogs alike, about the murderous shooting rampage on the Virginia Tech campus. The effects, I imagine, will be far reaching for college students everywhere who once felt blissfully safe. I know I never thought of such a thing happening on my college campus.
The news is weird for my parents, I'm sure. Both of them attended Virginia Tech, my dad in the late 1950s/early 60s, when it was still called Virginia Polytechnic Institute. My mom took classes there but did not complete her degree.
Blacksburg is a beautiful town. The thing about Virginia, no matter at what point I have crossed the state line or where I go, it always feels like home. Texas is the same way now, but different.
Anyhow, many thoughts, prayers and love should be directed to the students, faculty and staff at VT. And God be with us all as we try to make sense of something so senseless.
well stated.
What a sad thing to happen. Our cousin taught there till about 4 years ago.
These things change so many lives forever.
I still can't quite believe what happened, find myself wondering just what those young people's last thoughts were. Not hard to figure.
I'm with you on these thoughts. Still can't believe that something like this happened.
