Swift thoughts flying through my head but leaving me with no answers. Soon, I realized how fruitless it was to try and do anything. I couldn't decide what to try and save. Or was everything very important. I realized then how the young woman who survived with nothing but the clothes on her back must feel.
People work so hard to purchase what they have.
None of it comes easy. When we buy a new refrigerator, neighbors come over for tea to share the moment with us. When we put new tiles in an old bathroom, it is a major event and friends come over to admire the bathroom's new look. And then, just like that, to see everything burnt to the ground is the hardest feeling ever. Earlier in the day, I go to Aida Refugee camp and visit some of the homes that were shelled there.
