On April 16, I lost my niece, Austin Cloyd, at VT. You are so right....life will never again be the same. Not a day has gone by since April 16 that I have not shed a tear, not only for my family's incredible loss, but for all the other families, like yours. I also share your need to make a difference in this world...to take from this tradegy a new commitment to help others who are in need, to try to make the world a better place. I believe that our pain, combined with God's grace, can lead us on a journey to make such a difference. Indeed, I will live the rest of my life in that effort. May God give you grace and guidance to do the same. Daniel,

But for the grace of God, my brother could have been in that building, as he was an engineering student. Your post reminds us that this horrible event isn't just a segment on the news, but that it happened to real, living human beings who people cared about. Your loss shouldn't be easily consumable on the evening news, or easily expressed by appealing to a VT flag, or even on a blog post / comment. I can't pretend to know what you're going through, but I can tell you that I really felt like the bio you wrote of Jarrett gave me some connection to the person you've lost. Again, my deepest sympathies. I am thinking of you, your family, and your brother-in-law. But for the grace of God, my brother could have been in that building, as he was an engineering student.

I cant wait to see the the beautiful garden that will grow from you and Alicia. I am greatly encouraged by your relentless pursuit of God even through the deepest of pain. It is plain to see to me that God has a deep and meaningful purpose for you and Alicia will on earth. Reading your words here moves me to tears, but I am encouraged as well.

There are no words of comfort or condolence that come close to addressing what you and your family are going through. All I can tell you is that you are in our prayers always and we are here for you for anything, big or small. It's truly inspiring that you choose love considering what you are going through. I pray that others will do the same. That will truly glorify God and honor the wonderful person that Jarrett was. I won’t pretend that any of us have anything to say to ease your pain.
