For a whole week I have tried to write this post, but I have
not been able to do so. It is not that there is a lack of words… if anything,
there is an excess of them. But talk is cheap, so I’ll be brief.
Pairs became an unexpected victim of a war that we see so
far away. My heart goes out to the families of the victims, to the injured
still fighting for their lives, the ones that will be forever changed by this
tragedy, the children that will grow up without their mother or father, the
parents that won’t get to see their children get married, the friends that won’t
get to celebrate more birthdays, the husband, wives that won’t get more
goodnight kisses.
There is a lot more to this, but I will honor the direct
victims of this tragedy and for at least this post not use their lives to try
to prove a point or make a political arguments.
May they all rest in peace.
