its been four days since the nightmare in Iran. The United States is sending aid to a country that it has not had any contact with for a decade... the result of all the stupid conflicts and wars. It takes a huge natural disaster and tens of thousands dead for us to put aside our differences... and we call ourselves civilized. Anyway, I digress...

I read this little clip in a news article and it had been haunting me for a while.


"This is the Apocalypse. There is nothing but devastation and debris," Mohammed Karimi, in his 30s, said at the cemetery, where he had brought the bodies of his wife and 4-year-old daughter.



"Last night before she went to sleep she made me a drawing and kissed me four times," he said of his daughter, Nazenine, whose body he held in his arms. "When I asked, 'Why four kisses?' she said, 'Maybe I won't see you again, Papa,'" Karimi told an AP photographer, as tears streamed down his face."-yahoo news.


Sometimes... we forget how much we have in our lives... even if they seem little.
