#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.

#52 - Stunned

Horrific, Terrible, Stunned, Madness, Depression. Those are some of the emotions and descriptions that I had on this nasty day. As many of you know the Moga's connections to Virginia Tech are many and deep. Our nephew Sam is a freshman and with many friends children are enrolled, we were worried this morning. We had the relief that none of students we were directly related to were hurt. Our feelings of sympathy goes out to the many parents and some spouses that did not get the good call today.

I certainly don't have any answers. Insanity is not unique to this generation. And I truly believe you have to be insane to take human life so indiscriminately. Please keep the Virginia Tech family in your thoughts and prayers.
