We Remember

I don't think any Hokie ever forgets, or uses 4/16 as an exclusive day to remember. I think of the 32 that were senselessly lost in 2007 at random times throughout a year. I bet everyone else here does too. I've been on the golf course, shopping for groceries, or driving my car when my brain, seemingly randomly, concludes in a set of logic that returns my memory of that day.

As I followed what happened from my apartment some 500 miles away from Blacksburg, I cried in disbelief.

I didn't know any of the victims, so today is the day I remember them, not my own sadness, and listen to Nikki Giovanni's beautiful words.

If you're reading this and knew one of the Hokies lost, I hope you've found peace today and every day afterwards. We are Virginia Tech, and we will always remember.
