In response to the horrific tragedy at Virgina Tech today, I feel the need to express some thoughts that have really bothered me.  I can only imagine all the parents that will never see their children again.  I can only imagine all the brothers and sisters grieving for the their siblings.  I can only imagine all the daughters who will never get to dance with their fathers at their weddings.  I can only imagine all the people who will never find their soulmates, fall in love and feel the exquisite joy at seeing their newborns faces.  I can imagine a lot of good things that life would have offered these people had this tragedy not occured. 

What I can’t imagine is what gives one person the right to decide that he has the right to end a life.  I can’t imagine why he/she thinks he has the right to rob survivors of the joy of their loved ones.  I can’t imagine the pain and suffering the victims families must be going through.

I have a niece at Tech and was so relieved to find out that she was safe in her apartment.
