My dear PCers,
It is with a heavy heart I tell you why I have been gone a few days.
Among those killed at the Virginia Tech massacre were 4 of my best friends. They were a part of the very first group to first bestow upon me the the prestigious and now more cherished than ever title of "Our Guru".
They were former students of mine in the public schools, two of them now professors themselves. We were so very close. As I am growing to feel very close to you.
I was asked to attend the convocation for the dead and so I did.
My grief is strong, but with a heart feeling great loss, we shall continue here.
I know you well enough to feel sure I have your understanding. I'm afraid that now I will always carry a certain fear for YOUR safety.
But we will try to put this behind us, tho never the beautiful memories of them, and we shall carry on, as they would have wished. They, also, loved gambling, especially poker.
I thought about saying nothing. But this is too big a part of me and so I had to share it with my new flock, my Crushers who have become my latest group of sweethearts of my heart.
I appreciate your understanding, which I feel sure I have.
Your sentimental and ever-lovin' Guru
