Right now I just found out that one of my students (who graduated this past June and so was a freshman at Tech) was the first person to find the bodies of the first two victims. She lived next door to one of them and heard the screams. She's a quiet little redhead who used to come in the library almost every day. Reports say that she's having a really hard time and hasn't been able to return to the dorm. One morning's acts of violence and a ceaseless number of ripples... In Virginia, and at my school, we are awash in a sea of maroon and orange and will be observing a moment of silence at noon.

(((((((Hermie, the little redheaded student, and everyone affected by the VT tragedy))))))) That poor kid... how traumatic! You are so right about the ripples, Hermi.

RN...found out yesterday my dad has cancer, this morning that the doc gives him 2 months at most, and just a few minutes ago that he's declining rapidly and they think it may be days. And right now? I'm struggling with the fact that I'd rather have the good weekend I planned than go see my dying father.

RN, Cdbga, my prayers are you and your family. There's nothing wrong with the way you are feeling. It's not that you would rather have a good weekend, but that you would rather your dad not be so ill.

Right now what a shock for you Cdb! I am sad for you and understand exactly how you feel. The guilt follows me every time I leave the house to run necessary errands, because that's just the way it is. God bless you.

RN, I want to thank you all for the kind words, thoughts and prayers. I think I still am a little bit in shock. My father and I have had a rocky relationship, but it always seemed like there would be time to work it out, you know? And now...I think am in denial of sorts...that if I don't go down there, then it isn't real...he isn't sick....he won't die. But once I do go, then I will have to really face it. And I just don't want to do that, not yet. Right now, I'm just going to be all Scarlett O'hara and declare that I will think about it tomorrow...

All I will say is that if you don't go to see your Dad, you may regret it for the rest of your life.

When DH's brother was dying it was so hard for DH. He would say he just couldn't go over, their house is only a couple miles away. So I would say go over for only 15 minutes, naturally it would be a couple of hours when he came back home. During that time they talked about everything from growing up to hunting together. DH went over when Lee wanted to get ready to meet his brothers, he dressed him and stayed with him when he went to meet the 3 other brothers who had passed on before him. Tears are running down my face while I am retelling this, it has only been a year and half. The thing is they ended their time together on earth in a sort of beautiful companionship that has brought a lot of comfort to DH since then. RN I would say to you, just go over for 15 minutes. You don't have to stay long. God Bless you.
