Reflections of Syrian – Armenian mother: Where have our dreams gone for seeing our kids studying at music schools?

“What will the consequences of this war be with our children when the violence is everywhere?
From early childhood they sleep under the clanks of the weapons and wake up of the bombs blasting and shakings. Terrifying and horrible words come out of their innocent mouths.
Where our dreams of seeing our children studying at music schools or playing at sport playgrounds or at least sitting at the last desk and being overloaded with classes have gone?
New Year is coming. I asked my kids, “What would you like the Santa Clause to bring you this year.” And I am sure I have guessed what they will ask for; they will ask for weapons and little toy-soldiers.
When my heart fills with excitement, I think for a moment whether, those who temporarily left the country for not defiling souls of their kids and for keeping their minds bright and their hearts immaculate, were right.
The vagueness and darkness of future make me tired. However I would not like to think about a bad accident.
We are all filled with kind hope that is still alive, with expectations. Let it not be late and let our Syria breath freely.”
