Strollerderby Playdate: Moment of Silence

It is hard to know what to say when 32 people die and many more are left in the wilds of anger, fear and disbelief.  It is hard to know what to write when a beautiful spring day and classes full of students and a seemingly normal existence is interrupted by the deadliest school shooting in our history. We've found the bloggers who have found the words, the prayers, the rage, the ways to express all the emotion this shooting holds.

Before you go about the tasks of daily living, before the political debates cloud the humanity, join us in reading these blogger's poignant observations in a moment of otherwise silence.

Jen from One Plus Two writes poetically about the painful absence of God in suffering from Cambodia to Virginia.

 
Nancy at Mom Ma'am Me shares the sadness of seeing the campus - and her memories there -- ravaged by violence. 

 
Mir from Woulda Coulda Shoulda ponders the portrayal of evil in a children's book as the facts of the day unfold.

 
Annie Dameron asks the inevitable: What do you tell your kids when this happens?
 

The Washington Post's Blog Roundup is a chilling collection of responses, many from Virginia Tech students, in the wake of the bewilderment.
