April 16th

Today is a day of reflection for a lot of Hokies all over the world. Last April 16th was a day that will live in our memories for the rest of our lives. I remember being glued to my computer watching video stream of Channel 10 out of Roanoke as everything unfolded. It started with a girl from work calling me to ask if I knew that someone (one person at the time) had been shot on the VT campus. From there, the emails and new updates kept coming. Pray today for the Hokies and those that are working on campus to help them heal... specifically Darrell Cook, Mark Appleton, and Missy Cheliras at the Baptist Collegiate Ministries!

As I've said earlier, in the middle of all the tragedy on this day last year we received a phone call saying that our niece Abby was born. A bright spot in a terrible day. But today she turns one and we'll celebrate with her this weekend. Happy Birthday Abby!
