I am surprised at how bothered I am by the events of this past week …
It is not even my country …
He’s not our leader …
That was not our centre of government being attacked …
However, it IS the country my granddaughter was born in …
It IS the country my daughter and son-in-law have called their home …
It may be the country in which they invest their dreams and hopes for the future.
We also have siblings and in-laws, nieces, nephews and dear friends who call it their home.
It’s border is less than an hour away from my village.
Like the rest of the world … I wait … and I wonder what is the best road forward for us all.
