I read an article about old people in Aleppo where they ended up being neglected in the conflict. Their children and grandchildren often flee to safer countries but the elderly aren't usually afforded the same luxury. One old man lamented that he had spent his whole life to create a better place for his children and grandchildren and all that work was now null and void. What a tragedy.

I continue to read these stories and they always spark sympathy but then it's always the same outcome for these situations. People are fights and warring and there is not much that we can do about it. How much can one person do to fix these issues? I just hope that their future is brighter than it seems. That's what is always so hard to express or imagine. I'm a sure believer that God has the power and so I think they will come out on top with that attitude.
