The days leading up to April 16th are (or at least have been for the past 5 years), heavy days - remembering the confusion, pain, hurt and even relief. Understanding and relating to those emotions in the wake of a national tragedy is something I pray every day that few will truly know. I am saddened today to add more to that group. But even so #BostonMarathon, please know that you are not alone. That a city and a community are around you. And when things start to move forward and quiet down, we - your community - we will still be here with a knowing hug and when you're ready, the first smile and laugh. Just as we will never forget 32 and those affected by April 16th, 2007 at Virginia Tech. We remember and will never forget what is happening today in Boston.
