these were the words of a father who, after 2 years of waiting and wondering, learned about the fate of his 15 year old daughter. it was something you would never wish on anyone.
his wife mourned as if her death was as fresh and new as this morning. he, on the other hand, had a different coping strategy to deal with this "heavy heart feeling" he was experiencing.
their daughters suffering was at the hands of the maoist army in india, and their story was shared through a documentary film i, along with several others, watched this evening.
the fathers words really had the same affect as a swift kick to the gut may have. i had several different thoughts as he made his last attempt to "encourage" his wife...
"in order to bear this pain, we must harden our hearts."
i'm curious as to what your thoughts are of this statement? now, this will require you to share.
