Coming from the Western part of the world. I would like to say we are all suffering, some more the others. Many of us feel you pain. To hear on the news of anymore troubling issues is very heartbreaking. And I for one can say it really breaks my heart to see anyone suffering. We are taught to love one another, regardless of ethnic background. Because our country is so diverse. We do not have the luxury of saying one religion is right or wrong… we just accept each others difference, and try to peacefully coexist.

Today, I struggle just to make it through one day, as do many. Of course my struggles are different then yours. But, this tree ring out a sign of hope, hope for all who suffer.

Thank you for sharing!
