My condolences and prayers go out to the families and friends who lost loved ones at Virginia Tech. The story has been all over the news. It's been upsetting to see a lot of people on the news debating over various issues; gun control, international students, ploicy and procedure, anger managment, etc. Those issues can be talked about forever and everyone will choose a side. The fact is nothing can be done about that now.
The main issue is 32 people (not including the gunman) lost their lives. Many of them were kids who didn't get a chance to live life. It was tough seeing a lot of the private pictures of the victims on the news. All of the smiles. All of the different faces. All in college to pursue some personal dream or goal. That's the amazing part of the Virginia Tech tragedy. Not the kid who shot everyone. The countless number of lives that will forever be changed and the 32 futures that will never happen.
My heart goes out to all of the families and friends of the people who died. For everyone reading this, remember, life is short, you never know what can happen in this ever changing world. Take advantage of every opportunity given to you; don't wait for tommorrow to pursue a dream or goal; and be sure to tell the ones you love and respect how you feel about them, because you never know when you'll see them for the last time!
