i must say that alex sardar's way with words is brilliant. thank you for sharing your words about genocide and oppressions against humanity. this was one of the most beautiful personal essays i have read in a long time.

the weekend marked my fourth march to the memorial where i felt the unity of my people. along the way i heard mothers answering questions about why we were there and what happened to the ancestors we were honoring. one mother told her child that we were visiting graves, as they visit their grandmothers grave. i prayed for this to be true. when we receive international recognition... i believe we will have the peace... and our ancestors will feel that they have been buried with the respect and honor that human beings deserve. canada was one very important step, i pray for the USA to be another.

arthur will begin computer classes soon and i am very curious how he will do. i know he is very interested, but also unsure. he wants to desperately learn so he can work on some of the music programs... but the computer is foreign to him... so i am assuming he feels intimidated. i am excited he has the opportunity to be introduced through a class... he marvels at how fast i type... using that as some measuring stick as to how well i know this... computer. when he finds out that an introductory course will bring us to the same level... i feel i will lose my clout as the computer master of our household.
