So I made it about half an hour into my work day before the tears started. I made it an hour before I gave up completely and headed home. I think what set me off was my coworker mentioning how her VT roommate told her it felt like 9/11 on a personal, smaller scale. And then I started thinking about how I spent 9/11 in the comfort of fellow Hokies and that did me in. Wish I could be down there with them today.

Totally NO idea it would hit me so hard today. Well, this has been a crappy week so far, and it's only Tuesday. Did I mention we lost power here Sunday night for a few hours? Right in the middle of the Vancouver vs. Dallas game. And Benji cat got sick again last night but luckily it was on the down side of his insulin curve so we just didn't give him his proper shot and waited for the v-ing to stop. He seems okay this morning.

So far, I have no direct connection to any of the victims yet. One was in my sister's high school class, though, I think. And I attended a lecture where one of the now killed profs spoke, but I didn't know him personally. Hard to feel even a little bit thankful though. Makes it worse to feel thankful. Fuck. I wish there were something I could do.

Whoa. I'm embarassed to say that I totally didn't make the connection between your email address and the horrible events of Monday. My parents were visiting all weekend and just left today, and I don't visit your LJ while they're here because my dad has a tendency to snoop on my surfing history and I don't want them asking potentially embarassing questions. Anyway, I feel badly that I didn't see your posts until now.

I'm so very sorry, tg. I won't pretend to know exactly how you must feel now, though the words 'shock', 'chilling', and 'surreal' come to mind when I try to imagine such a thing happening at my alma mater. One thing's for certain: you definitely didn't need any more stress heaped on you right now. Take care of yourself. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

I can not begin to imagine the pain you must be going thru at this time. Hang in there hon, know there are people out there who care about you, and take care of yourself.

tg,
I didn't realize your connection to Virginia Tech(Though now it does seem obvious). I'm so sorry, it must be such a sad and bizarre thing to experince.I'm sending you warm thoughts and hugs.

From: (Anonymous)

I immediately thought of you when I heard the news. My thoughts and prayers are with VT and all of you who were affected by it.

Today, I'm a hokie, TG.

Love, Annalisa

Hey tg

I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday for tomorrow (April 19th). I know that it will be hard for you to enjoy it this year with you mind on the events at VT, but try to remember that there are many people who care about you and are wishing you happiness on your special day.

Mike from the great white north
