Virginia Tech Tragedy and ....

This kind of stuff is very hard for me, personally. Sorry. I have to kind of stand back from it until I can make the attempt to assimilate it because someone I love WAY MORE THAN ME died and was murdered as a result of a gunshot. If I'm not careful the visuals and the repeated news coverage will make life harder than it needs to be ... I've learned from past experience to leave alone the part that horrifies me and to do what I am capable of ....

For me, what it comes down to is always the people.

And when I start to read about them and think about their families --- I know what it finally comes down to. And down to. And down to. All of our outrage still leaves these families alone and all the trials in the world change nothing. And, these families don't even get that.

For some, this is the beginning and they don't even know it yet. The knowing is coming.

So, when I don't talk about this it's not due to cold natured ignorance of the facts and the horrendous event -- it's because I know too much.

Some people believe that when you pray that the souls in Heaven (or wherever/whatever you want to call it) see the prayers come up through the skies as tiny tendrils of golden lit wisps of beauty.

Not so easy for the families left behind.

The knowing is coming for them. The struggle remains.

It would be nice to keep remembering them in the future in a good, kind, loving way. That you care HELPS. The world moves forward and they are stuck. On this day, forever. So, remembering them and their loved one helps them the most.

That's the part I'm good at.

Thanks to others among you who carry the upfront part so well.
