this is to honor the victims in the tragic virginia tech shootings, and a tribute to one extraordinary man's selflessness, a hero.
Liviu Librescu, 77, was teaching a class when they heard the shots. he threw himself in front of the door to block the killer from getting in, yelling for his students to escape through the window.
in doing so, he was shot to death through the door.
i have only deep respect for him. he has family, yet in that crucial moment he gave his life for duty and to save his students.
it is only at one's last moments of life that show who one really is.
i pray there will not be a replay of such a tragedy. much more can be done.
there is so much more out there, so much more to life. stop thinking the world revolves around you and you alone, that makes me sick.
...
a wild flower dies
where it blooms
so let me be
a wild flower
its death shall be
the fading of beauty
