I wore mine, did you?

So, Ive been watching CNN all week, as I always do. This week, though, has been crazy for us. Adam has even been watching for the newest information, mainly out of horror and shock. We have said a thousand prayers and cried along with them this week. Though neither of us have any ties to Virginia Tech, we have been glued to the news.
I am a student, so I have been thinking about what this would feel like. I know that is crazy. I have been thinking about those students and wondering if I would have been able to try to save the others in my class, if I were in their shoes. I know, I know. Its silly. But it makes you look around a little when you are going to class now. I watch the people in the hall ways. I scrutinize every one I pass at school, in the store, every where I go. This is sad.
But for today, I wore my marroon and orange. This was to show support for these students and family members. I saw on the news that they were asking people to do this. So I did, Adam did, and so did a few of my friends at work. I even painted my nails marroon. Not a far stretch for me since I have more marroon clothing and polish and doodads than most people. Its one of my favorite colors and the color of my favorite college so I was geared up. I looked like the sick little cheerleaders on game day. Only this time it was to show that I too, am thinking about those students and teachers who were so senselessly murdered on Monday.
Like Columbine, this will live in my memory for years to come. It will live in my mind forever as a day we sat in shock and wondered why some one would do this. I just dont understand. That guy was totally whacked. I really feel for his family, they will probably be hated because of his actions. My prayers are just as much with that boys family as they are with the other families of the actual victims. Afterall, they too lost a loved one, even if he was sick and demented, that is not their fault. He made his family a victim of his crime with his actions that day. So my prayers are with every family who lost some one that day, every friend who lost a friend and every one who was touched in any way by this act.
So I wore mine, did you?
