In the past two months train and plane accidents have come and kicked us in the humanity. Grief is everywhere. I just pray that these people won’t be forgotten by the masses as history shows us.

Dear Grace,
It is very sad to see so many people killed in accidents. And it is even worse to see people who try to start unrest, demonstrations and wars that in the end will kill many innocent people and kids who actually want peace.
