Last Night, and all the time in between

I just came inside from watching Joe Paterno’s funeral procession from the sidewalk in front of my apartment. All of this hadn’t hit me, not really, until that moment when the Hearst passed in front of me and I said “there he is” to my roommate.

I am so proud of my school as of late, we may get bashed by the media and people all around the world may not understand what it is like to live here and experience all these things first hand, so they brush us aside as horrible people.

But if you saw what I did today, all the people lining the streets from where they held Joe’s viewing to his burial, you would be humbled. We all stood in silence, tears in our eyes, and taking in every second.

The past few months have been that which we will never forget.

And we will never forget Joseph Vincent Paterno either, 1926-2012

Love forever,
Your Penn State Family
