#4641 I turned 68 today. But I have seen enough in my life to not look forward to another year. When I was young, I was poor but I was happy. At 68, I am still poor but far from being happy. How can I be happy? How can I rejoice? I have seen my beloved daughter bruised broken butchered. She was brave; she put up a fight but only to bleed Saffron. Saffron, they said, is for courage, for bravery. Indeed! And as if that was not enough to kill my soul, I had to bury what was left of my son that came back shrouded in white, bloody white. White can never mean peace to me anymore. I have witnessed the death my loved ones while endlessly waiting for one angel in green scrubs under a green cross. Wasn’t green supposed to be for abundance? Where is the hope of life? Why should I even live, for what? Then I look around me. There are some like my daughter- they fight, they live, they smile, they hope; some like my son- they question, they protect, they help. And I see a bleak ray of a new dawn, a new hope that grows stronger with each toothless smile of a newborn, each drop of tear of a mother protecting her fetus, each kind act of a stranger and I know there is so much to live for.
