Cate, this situation is heartbreaking for all, but I know that one who is personally touched by this horrible shooting must feel it so much more deeply. I hope you will continue to share your thoughts with us, and pictures, too. Thank you for your willingness to share your pictures and feelings.


Much love to you and your "family".

I've remained seated in front of the television more than usual, since learning of this National Tragedy~ I knew I could find a place to voice my feelings about it.

My Prayers continue for each friend and family member ~

It is incredible to have such a strong voice as Cate's to speak loud, clear and proud on behalf of Virginia Tech. I am so glad that the school is pulling together the way they are, it is a nice contrast to the madness of one ill boy.

Thank you for writing and sharing, Cate.

I just heard on the news that Friday will be Maroon and Orange Day in honor of Virginia Tech and the people that were killed in the campus shootings. So, if you have something maroon and/or orange, wear it that day.

Thanks.

I definitely will. I will wear my orange hat, too as well.

This is just horrible. Cate: I'm sooo glad you aren't hurt...
and CountryWolf07: I am so sorry about your friends cousin.

What goes through people's minds when they do this. Do they feel horribla or do they think it feels good? Poeple are just...errrr It makes me so mad! 32 innocent people died! Why!? I wish the killer was alive and the police could torture him FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then we can see how he likes it
The students and teachers are in my prayers...

KittyGurl, the man/boy who did that was clearly mentally ill. It is quite likely that his life was already torture to him. That does in no way excuse what he did, but no good would come from trying to exact "revenge" on him.

The best way to deal with this is to support the survivors, the families and loved ones of those killed, and the entire Virginia Tech Community. One cannot fight darkness with darkness, but it can be conquered with light.

Kittygurl - if we could do that, we would be the same as him.

Revenge is the most natural thing in the world - but as a minister at the memorial said, we have to turn from the 'seductiveness' of revenge.

Loving and supporting, however we can, shows we know better, and do not go down to that dark level.

I wonder how his parents are, among all the others? They are innocents who have also lost.

Prayers to all.
