Dearest Beloved,
    Hello. My name is Kim from Rutgers University in New Jersey. I apologize firstly, as I realized I had been living under a rock as I was actually writing a 20-page single space paper for my final project during the time of the happening. My friend actually came in and delivered the message on what had happened. Immediately, that friend and I lifted a prayer for the families. I still do.
    However, as days went by, I came to remember that, though sometimes bittersweet, there is a magnificent truth about this life on earth, and it is that things won't every be the same twice through. Everyday, something changes whether we're conscious of it or not. From the cellular processes in our bodies to the earth's rotation and its revolution around the Sun, each passing second becomes an extraordinary event in our lives and in the lives of the people around us. 
    There is no way to replace a person, or relive a memory, or replay a moment, but we can surely add on to it. This doesn't mean to forget and leave what we lost, but there is so much room to build and stretch. We can love a little more.. live a little more.. create more memories.. and grow. I urge you to keep lift your chin up and look forward. I encourage you to smile from the depths of your heart at the love and prayers your loved one is pouring out to you from where he or she is. I really believe you are being loved as much as your precious one is being missed.
    Once again, chin up.. For you are loved dearly.
-K.
