Season's Wishes

 

Hope yes hope is what we need in what has been and continues to be challenging times. Good that some of us have had families together to celebrate Christmas..but some have had lost loved ones and those torn apart in political situations like #FreeNazanin campaign. We tried so hard to get our government to successfully negiotate with Iran to free Nazanin home for Christmas.. 

Christma Eve I had an awesome experience. In all the world turmoil I was able to witness a wonderful reunion of friends not seen one another through the war in Syria for over 7 years. Two friends from a longstanding friendship started in school as classmates.. made refugees in war. One escaped to make life in Germany, the other in Turkey. Now as refugees make new lives, work and gain citizenship of host countries reunion visits become possible. What a privilege to be made a part of this with sharing photos & messages ..such emotional happiness in times where hope so needed.

Befriending in Family Link Up enriches my life, I am so grateful.
