Dear World,

You always have someone far from you and it really doesn’t matter where you live, you always have someone to worry for.

Two months ago I traveled to Sweden to visit my mom, and then I couldn’t come back home because of the lockdown. There weren’t any flights.

So I stayed there and I was far from my family and kids. I was so worried and always thinking, “What I’m gonna do from here if one of them get sick?”

Giving birth to a child was a very special occurrence in my life. The feeling that a human being is so depended to you and needs your attention, your love and caring in order to grow and get strong. That kind of love you feel in your heart for that child is so rare and incomparable to anything, it’s completely different to other feelings that you experience before.

It becomes one of your reasons for living, and fighting in this life.
In this specific period of time that the world is facing this new virus its really good that families stay close together and help one another.

After a month, I found a flight to come back home and now I’m relaxed and calm with my children, but now I’m worried about my mom.

It’s like, you always have someone far from you and it really doesn’t matter where you live, you always have someone to worry for.


Sincerely, 

Where Are You?
