Photo credit ZeitgeistIt has been a year ago today, since that extremely tragic and sad day for myself and numerous others, whose lives and dreams were shattered by the brutal action of one deranged human being, who took the lives of many innocent people, in a small, quiet town of Binghamton, New York.

A whole year has gone by,  but does time really heal wounds in this length of time, or ever?

There is no single answer to such a complex question, because it depends on how each individual deals with difficult and tragic situations.

I know when I lost my mom, and even though it was not a result of a tragedy of this magnitude, but none the less, it was a sudden and unexpected loss, and one year was not nearly enough to heal my broken heart.

I found my solace in prayer, numerous pictures of all the good times we had together, and my faith that there is more to look forward to, than one finds in this lifetime.

My sincere sympathy and prayers go out to the many families and friends, who are gathering today to remember their loved ones who were taken away from them on that day of April 3, 2009.

I lost a very dear friend that day, Maria (Mima) Zobniw, so today I am extending my deepest sympathy and heartfelt prayers to her family, and Eternal Memory (Vichanya Pamyiat) for her Soul.

    Im sorry to hear that you lost your friend in this horrible tragedy. I remember when it happened because my company has a plant in Binghamton. Not everyone knows where it is or has heard of it, but I remember it. And now today another tragedy has happened in the sad news of the Polish president and his wife. When I heard of this news I thought of you because I know you have family from there. My heart goes out to you SG.

    Thank you Diana. I lost a friend, and I often think of her and her family and only a year before that she was at my sons wedding. But my thoughts are always with her four children, since her youngest daughter still has 3 more years of Pharmacy College, and that must be so hard for her.
