Countdown...May 28...and A Loss...
I'm going to make this one a short one...
Well, another month has passed... just one more until I head out to Armenia for the summer. Not very many projects going on this year, so I'm hoping to take the job-hunting more seriously this time (however, we will see).
The AYF has been planning one of the biggest May 28 celebrations since wayyyyyyyyyy back in the day! Next Sunday, they will be shutting down a few blocks of Little Armenia to put on a huge day-long festival! Cinco-de-Mayo WATCHOUT.... Mayis 28 is here! :) If you're going to be in town, make sure to go down and check it out.
Finally, I'd like to write a few sentences about a loss our community (or rather our "azk") had over the past weekend. Last summer, I casually met a young man who was part of the Hamazkayin Forum. I came to know him as the hayrenaser kid from the valley who had brought waaaaaay too many shoes to Armenia. Later, I found out that while I had been a teacher's aid at Ferrahian Elementary, I had met his mother who was a kindergarten teacher. Naturally, I said to myself, "Well no wonder he had turned out to be such a hayrenaser guy...his mom does this for a living. :)". Well, this past weekend Edwin Isaghoulian left our world after a tragic car accident. I know there are no words that will comfort loved ones who face such a loss... We have lost a fellow young Armenian who inspired so many others with his love of Hayrenik.... Asdvadz Hokin Lusavoreh.
Make each day count...
TSUH!
