I have been thinking about this for quite some time. I know that Aida ( a longtime YLF member ) still "lurks" around YLF.

Aida's dad is Syrian. From Aleppo and has his family there. I don't know if they are still there or have left like so many others.

Aida, I think of your family almost every day. It is impossible not to as the horrors in Syria go on. I don't really know what to say. But please let your dad know that my heart breaks for him and his family. And that so many of us stand in support of you. I can't imagine your dad's hell. I remember what happened to your uncle when the fighting broke out 5 years ago...I don't know if he was ever reunited with his family.

Please know that I stand with you.
