What Could Have Been Just Another Day Wasn't At Virginia Tech
Category: Pain
Ask any person and you'll find that nothing comes more unwelcome than a forecast of an even hotter day (after a few consecutive ones of insufferable, honest-to-goodness summer highs), nor the tragedy of an unexpected shooting turned massacre that took 33 mostly young lives, of people who haven't even reached their prime.
I wish there would have been an easier way to relieve minds off the unfathomable Sanjaya, or the recently declared Anna Nicole babydaddy, but certainly not like this, in this magnitude that easily becomes a global heartache for the sheer horrendousness of it all.
I am thankful to find relief that the sun today seems a little more gentle on the skin than yesterday, which is always made easier by knowing I can always have that saving glass of halo-halo. But I deeply regret that 33 families, as I speak, are only coming to the terrible realization of an unthinkable tragedy that had befallen their loved ones, who did nothing but to wake up to another day at school, not knowing it would be the last day of their lives.
My condolences to the families of the victims of the Virginia Tech massacre.

I love the blog that you have. I was wondering if you would link my blog to yours and in return I would do the same for your blog. If you want to, my site name is American Legends and the URL is:
www.americanlegends.info
If you want to do this just go to my blog and in one of the comments just write your blog name and the URL and I will add it to my site.
Thanks,
David
what a tragedy.
guns + troubled mind = massacre
sis... happy mother's day :)
stay as cool and inspiring as you are... *mwah*
hi, thanks for coming by, david.
guns + troubl;ed mind = massacre.
i guess it's really the access to guns, don't you think, doc emer? i suppose given the situation in our country, there isn't a shortage for troubled minds here either, but they probably do not have easy access to guns as people do in the states, that's why people do not do that here -- they only climb billboards and get televised ;-)
mec, sis, thank you for remembering me on on mother's day! i really felt it on that day, given that it dawns on me each day how challenging it is to be one.
happy mother's day to your mom as well :)
