To Sun-Kyung Hui and your mom and dad

The grief over the tragedy at Virginia Tech is overwhelming but... Sun-Kyung, please know that Americans - many of us - appreciate the pain and suffering your are enduring. Please tell your Mother and Father that Americans - this American does not hold them accountable for the tragedy. I lived in the Far East, travelled to Seoul as well. I appreciate the suffering of your family and I appreciate the family honor that is so precious to your Mother, Father, and yourself. Americans do not blame you for this tragedy. Actually, God will give you the strength and courage to endure; may your parents find comfort in God's word and allow God to lift them and you from your shared feelings of hopelessness and dispair. These are Sun-Kyung's words: "We are humbled by this darkness. We feel hopeless, helpless and lost. This is someone that I grew up with and loved. Now I feel like I didn't know this person," Cho's sister said. "We have always been a close, peaceful and loving family. My brother was quiet and reserved, yet struggled to fit in. We never could have envisioned that he was capable of so much violence." America mourns with the parents and loved ones of the victims; your family was a victim as well. There are no answers for what occurred and we cannot use reason to try to explain acts that defy reason. Your family is not without our prayers.
