why?
i asked last night.
why?
i asked again this morning.
and it
keeps repeating
in my head
like some
failed attempt
to memorize.
why him?
in that whole
university
why him?
why anyone?!
today i walk
around
my own campus
and
i feel like
my ears
are going to pop-
muffled,
unclear,
echoing,
empty.
last night when
i left school
the tragedy
at virginia tech
was horrible
and shocking
but now
it's very real.
and all i can
think about
is for every
ounce of pain
i feel,
my friend feels
gallons
for her loss.
please
pray,
mourn,
hope,
think about,
send your heart to
all the people
who lost
a loved one
yesterday.

yes. i keep asking why too. it's like a broken record in my head. just playing the same groove, over and over.
i get the chills every time i hear about it. yesterday i had big plans to get things done. then i heard. and then i wept.
waves of anger and sadness, over and over. hug!
I just read the news article, how shockingly heartless...so many families affected, the students with hopes and dreams, lost. I am so sorry to hear the news, sending prayers for all those affected.
as you know, living in virginia, everywhere you turn is a vt alumna, parent, friend. we are all shaken.
doesn't it all seem surreal? blacksburg in the blue ridge mountains? such a peaceful, beautiful place tarnished.
i am so sorry for your and her and everyone's loss. it's just all so tragic and horrid. big big hug....
oh gwen I know. This is terrible, I'm the same way, why? why would someone do that. this world just doesn't make sense to me.
big hugs,
xoash
