What is more heartbreaking then having what might be my last ever conversation with my close close cousin over the internet?
The fact that my cousin is desperately trying to say sorry for all the little quarrels we may have had since we were children. My cousin is telling me all the things that have hurt him in the past and what he wants to set all these little stupid arguments straight before its ”too late”,
My cousin telling me that he can hear guns and my uncle and aunt are scared. He is scared…that he is lucky because he’s got bread and gas….
My cousin insisiting that he has to tell me these things because he ”cannot ensure that [he] will still alive or not” in coming hours. This is what is more heartbreaking.
This is what Assad, the president of Syria is doing to his people. This is the reality.
