MY VT

From the numerous phone calls I received yesterday I must have managed to articulate over the last two years how special Blacksburg is and how meaningful the relationships I made there are to me. My place attachment to Blacksburg is still pretty BIG - my love for the Blue Ridge, the downtown community, and especially my friends, are more than words can express. Tragic moments like those yesterday remind me that love makes my world go round and we shouldn't take that for granted. I am thankful for the memories made in Blacksburg and folks around the world (Brazil, France, Afghanistan, Bear Den Shelter on the AT, etc) who called to check in on me and my loved ones there. My Blacksburg friends are safe, but at this time we all share grief for the VT community that we love.
