I walked on campus today and took a couple of photos with my cellphone. The building with the green barrier fence around it is Norris Hall, the building where all but 2 people were killed. The other photo is of students and staff cleaning up all the flowers, etc from the make-shift memorial that thousands of people contributed to. It was sad to see them putting all the dead flowers into trash bags. No one spoke as they cleaned up. It seemed odd. In a way, we expect the mourning to go on forever. But, life goes on. Those who lost loved ones will never get over it, but I hope they will learn to deal with it. Blacksburg and VA Tech has experienced something I hope no community has to experience again.
