The Va. Tech trajedy is very close to home for us. My older kids have tons of friends there and 4 of my cheerleaders were accepted to that school for the fall. They have all been at my house this week discussing their choices. Tomorrow is "Virginia Tech" day for our area, we spent all day and evening making up Tshirts and ribbons. There are over 1200 students from Hampton Roads at VT and some of the victims were from here. There were hour long lines of people at the stores trying to buy a VT Hokie flag to fly for tomorrow. The mood everywhere we go is very somber. It's almost to much for the mind to process, isn't it?
