Today is World Refugee Day

The question before me is "What would you take?"

Here is the picture:

My parents were asked to leave a country.

They were only allowed one suitcase. They passed 17 check points.

They were locked in massive areas with a sea of other people for long periods without access to facilities.

They boarded the refugee plane. They pleaded with stewardess for water for their parched baby.

We were saved through others coming to get us.

We were saved through others coming to help us.

We are grateful and remember those who are "asked" to leave their countries.

Today is world refugee day.
