As always it is nice to read your writeup and again we are very proud of you and the way you guys raise Rohan up. It is disheartening to note the learning he is going through, when exposed to bad things and that too in his daily walk to school. I teared up as I was reading it. I am sure he will grow into a nice young man and we are ready to help in any way we can. Love, Dad.

Un joli recit de ta routine matinale, authentique et un plaisir a lire.

Merci de nous rappeler que les petits plaisirs de la vie sont dignes d'etre documentes, et que les questions et la curiosite des enfants peuvent aider a retenir les adultes ds le vif de l'actualite meme qd ns sommes habitues a vite passer a autre chose. (sorry pas d'accents)

Thank you for embarking on this bittersweet journey with us, where we explore the art of reconciling life's dissonance with the beauty of nature and childhood amidst tragic events. It's poignant to observe the innocence of a child juxtaposed with the harsh reality of adults killing each other for political and ideological reasons. Your post prompts reflection on our lives and tribulations, the fear of taking sides, mistaking the truth, and being manipulated by media, all influenced by political powers. Conversations are often avoided to prevent offense, but this silence only exacerbates the situation, making solutions seem almost impossible. As Bob Marley's imagery returns with the release of the film, I'm drawn into a moment of introspection, contemplating his song "War," inspired by a speech by former Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie to the United Nations. These words, sung by Bob Marley, still resonate with profound force.

"...That until that day the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship rule of international morality, will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued. But never attained.

Now everywhere is war, war..."
