a day so full of love, so full of hate

love...
yesterday was my and jesse's 2 1/2 year anniversary. when i came home from school - at 7:30 pm - i walked in to find my table set with a vase of flowers, a bottle of champagne, and an oreo dessert. i sat down and jesse pulled two glasses of cold water out of the fridge ("because i know you like water with everything") and sliced me some oreo pie. he had even thought to open the shades to let the sunshine join our little party.

hate...
at virginia tech yesterday, there was the "worst shooting in united states history" killing over 30 people. as a teacher, a school shooting is the worst possible news to hear. it sends chills down my spine. but worse yet, this morning i hear that one of the professors who was killed was a Holocaust survivor. To think he survived something so horrific, and then had to die in such a way, leaves me speechless. Ironically enough, yesterday was Holocaust Remembrance Day.
