Shocked, Saddened, and In Pain

[lananh]

It has been two days since the shootings at Virginia Tech happened. I am still trying to make sense of this tragic incident. I don't know how many times I've cried, but nothing can compare to the pain I feel in my heart, nothing I can do to relieve it. My God, how am I going to go back to school? How am I going to look into my friends' faces without thinking about the ones who died?

I was shocked when I watched TV about the slaughter at Virginia Tech. I know your pain and let me share it with you. I think that the time will heal your pain. Your friends will live forever in your heart. Yesterday is the past. Cover the past and hide it in our memory. We all should live for the present. Best wishes to you, hope you take the balance of your life soon.

Returning to school will be hard, but on Monday, I will go back to be with my school. Days have passed, and I have gained much hope each day. Through this turmoil, I have found love and unity with my friends and the people who care about me most. I thank you for each and one of your kind words, it means so much during this hardship.

I hug my friends more, tell them I love them more, spend more time with them, and make sure that they know how I feel about them. I encourage you to do the same. Life is too short, so value the time you have with your loved ones because you don't know when is the last time you see them. That morning, when I dropped off my best friend at school, like every Monday morning, I could have lost him.

Take care of yourself and each other.
