Gassy Monk

It’s doubtful there is anything that could assuage the pain felt by friends & family of those that were lost, but there is something great to be witnessed in the millions of emails being passed around, the ringing phones & the personal efforts made by those affirming their relationships w friends & family (worldwide!).

To those who have visited Blacksburg, try not to let this catastrophe cast a shadow on the beauty that remains & the good times you remember, but do continue to sympathize with the classmates & family members of those whose lives were needlessly taken. They need your support more than anyone.

And to those that have sent me an email with your sympathies & your thoughts, thank you for your expressions of solidarity. Now, in the aftermath, I only hope that those much closer to this catastrophe have people in their lives able to offer them the same.
