I will always be a Hokie...

I can't believe that it will be 4 years ago this Saturday, that my senior year in College was forever changed.  I was not in class that horrific day, but I was at work at a law office right off campus and saw all the events fall on TV.  There are no words to describe that day or the weeks, months, years to follow.  I will tell you, I was ALWAYS proud to be a Virginia Tech Hokie (and no, not just for the football team) but after that day, being a Hokie took on a completely different meaning.  The way our community came together during that time, would bring anyone to tears. 

So this week, with a very heavy heart, I'm reminded to live each and every day for those 32 that were taken from us that day.

    The Hokie nation solidified on that fateful day and has never looked back. Like you, I wasn't on campus at the time (I was student teaching in Roanoke) but my husband was. I still get an eerie feeling as I remember desperately trying to call him and only getting busy signals. What a tragedy, but what a wake of grace and strength the Hokie nation has created. We did prevail!
