April 16

It is once again April 16th, a day that will never be the same for any Virginia Tech Hokie. The kind comments of people who read my reflections from that day helped me a lot in my grieving process. I sincerely appreciate those other bloggers who linked to my article. That drove a lot of traffic to my little blog and enabled me to have conversations with lots of web friends. It was healing to know that people were listening.

I took the day off work and school to attend the memorial services and vigils on campus today. I don't know how the day is going to affect me. I can't imagine what it's like for the families of the victims to see the news once again recount the horrors of that day.
