It is hard to believe that we will not see you again, that we will not see your innocence again, that we will not hear your laughter again. You were a rare person.

Perhaps God has noticed your special qualities, and has decided to designate a place of honor nearby?

The bang of bullets: deafening. Your journeys; And the longing … This summer you wore green, and you suddenly came home tired and tired and dusty … And we dip in your dust, wipe a tear to your exhaustion, and happy … This summer you wore blue and white, Hot – bury us … “
