IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORY OF THE 32 WHO LOST THEIR

LIVES AT VIRGINIA TECH 10 YEARS AGO

AND

WITH RESPECT AND CARING THOUGHTS FOR

THE 17 WOUNDED

AND

ALL THE FAMILIES AND FRIENDS OF THE VICTIMS

WHOSE LIVES WERE CHANGED ON THAT TERRIBLE DAY

         Today is a day to reflect on what might have been and what we lost on April 16, 2007. And, to honor the family and friends of those lost and wounded at Virginia Tech.

         Today is also a day to honor the victims of Cho’s rampage by vowing to redouble the fight to keep guns out of the hands of those who are willing to kill or maim innocent human beings for no reason other than to satisfy their sick and distorted view of the world around them.

My Immortal

Sung by Evanescence

I'm so tired of being here

Suppressed by all my childish fears

And if you have to leave

I wish that you would just leave

'Cause your presence still lingers here

And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears

And I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have all of me

You used to captivate me by your resonating light

Now, I'm bound by the life you left behind

Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams

Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears

And I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have all of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone

But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along

When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears

And I held your hand through all of these years

You still have all of me, me, me
