A reminder that we are all human...

As I scanned the headlines this morning two stuck out.

I am a mother. I am a human. It has made me so sad lately to see such division amoung Americans and people in general. We all share this Earth and we all share in the suffering that plagues this Earth. Mothers (and fathers) are being forced to abandone their children...all around the globe. Please, before you decide to hate your neighbor, remember that we suffer and celebrate together. Remember that in all wars humans lose. In all recessions children suffer.

"The mothers were sobbing as they tried to leave the children and the children were crying clinging to their mothers," Edhi said. "It was heart wrenching to watch."
