#53 - Trying to make sense


Its the day after and an emptiness that I can't describe has descended upon me. Today we found out that there were people we knew that didn't survive yesterday in Blacksburg. A lovely young lady that joined us at our happy hour. A dedicated young lady that befriended our neighbor and adopted daughter Rebecca. An fine professor that taught our niece. And those are with a bit more then half the victims identified. Oh the unfairness of life!


The convocation held at Virginia Tech today was just the right medicine. We were impressed with all the speakers and our soul lifted when Nikki Giovanni finished with "We are Virginia Tech". The vigil held tonight on the Drill Field was another step in the healing process. Please keep Virginia Tech in your thoughts and prayers.

It is too bad that Nikki Giovanni is trying to use this situation as a platform to promote her own political agenda. It is supposed to be about the victims, not Giovanni’s political ideology.
